The beloved Britain’s Got Talent sensation, Jack Carroll, is set to grace the screens of Coronation Street, stepping into the role of Bobby, the long-lost son of Rob Donovan and Carla’s nephew in the ITV soap.

In a twist that screams drama, Jack spilled the beans on how a close pal paved the way for his Corrie breakthrough. Turns out, a friend embedded Jack’s essence into the character of Bobby, tailoring it to match Jack’s own vibrant persona, making it a tailor-made fit for the comedic star.

Bobby’s arrival in Weatherfield promises an exciting storyline post-Christmas, stirring up trouble for Rob Donovan, who was oblivious to his paternal ties until recently. Following a spat with his mother, Bobby ventures to find his Auntie Carla, injecting some much-needed focus into Carla’s life, especially after Peter’s departure from the cobbles.

Described as a “livewire chip off the old block” with charisma and an eye for the ladies, Bobby’s entry is set to electrify the show, teasing a “blockbuster” storyline slated for the upcoming year.

For Jack Carroll, this role seems tailor-made, mirroring aspects of his own persona, plucked straight from his stand-up acts. With his friend’s behind-the-scenes influence, Jack’s set to bring a vibrant twist to the Corrie scene.
