Nigel Havers the Corrie gigolo
Thursday, 22nd October 2009.
Smooth-as-you-like Nigel Havers will be appearing in Coronation Street in December as a male escort called Lewis.
The actor – best known for playing English gentleman roles on screen – will be a gentleman escort for new Corrie arrival Claudia – played by Rula Lenska.
Street fans will first see Havers’ character accompany Claudia to a pre-Christmas ball.
But a Corrie spokeswoman confirmed the relationship will be strictly professional.
"There is no suggestion that Lewis is anything more than a companion escort for his clients," she said.
Jealous
A few Corrie residents will be feeling a bit envious of Claudia’s apparent new flame.
Audrey Roberts (played by Sue Nicholls) is one who’s going to feel a little bit peeved as she’ll be stuck with busybody Norris (Malcolm Hebden) all night.
But when she finds out that Claudia paid for the suave gent to take her to the ball, Audrey wants to spend a penny too!
Havers will make his Corrie debut in 18th December’s episode.
