Jack can't wait to cause trouble on the cobbles

SOAP NEWCOMER SAYS IT'S ‘FANTASTIC' TO HAVE FIRST SCENES WITH STREET LEGEND

- JESSICA SANSOME

CORONATION Street newcomer Jack Carroll has opened up about his debut on the cobbles and teased viewers about the new character he's set to play.

It was announced earlier this year that the former Britain's Got Talent star will be joining the ITV soap as Bobby, the son of Carla Connor's brother Rob Donovan.

Rob is serving life in prison for the murder of Tina McIntyre and was unaware he had a son until recently but hadn't told Carla. And so it's fair to say she gets a bit of a surprise this festive season.

Bobby turns up out of the blue just after Christmas having fallen out with his mum and looking for a place to stay. He was described as a livewire chip off the old block, with the gift of the gab and an eye for the ladies. It's not long before Bobby is running rings around his aunt Carla and it soon becomes evident that he plans on sticking around.
