'We still really enjoy each other's company'

Over the years, actor Will Mellor has appeared in some of the nation's best loved shows, from Coronation Street and Broadchurch to Strictly Come Dancing. But there's one show he'll never leave behind and that's Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps.

Having played mechanic Gaz Wilkinson alongside co-stars Ralf Little and Sheridan Smith on the iconic noughties show, Will, now 47, reveals it's still a huge part of his life.

"It's still on repeat about five times a day, and people still talk to me about it," he tells new.

"It's the sort of show that got people on the bus and they came on the journey with us. We were representing people that weren't being represented - the working class who just play pool, chat about life and have a few beers. And it's really nostalgic, which is big at the moment. People love to reminisce about it. It was on for 10 years and a lot of people were on that journey with us."

The Mancunian, who's touring next year with his Two Pints With Will And Ralf podcast, says he's still "really proud" of playing Gaz, and has a script ready for a revival written by the show's creator, Susan Nickson, aptly called Two Pints - Last Orders.

"The BBC turned it down, but I'd love to see what Gaz and Jonny are up to now. I'm here and I've said I'll do it if we can get the funding.

"In the meantime, I'm still doing the podcast with Ralf. We don't see each other that often but I think that's why it works. We disagree on things and we're very different people, but he makes me laugh and I make him laugh, so our friendship just works. We still really enjoy each other's company."
