Gary Windass
The captain of the 2002 England boxing team at the Commonwealth Games, Stephen Bell, is appearing in Coronation Street.
The 34-year-old, who has previously appeared on ‘Shameless’, is to play the part of a soldier in the new Army storyline, as a friend of bad boy Gary Windass, played by Mikey North.
Unfortunately, Stephen turned-up on his first day on set nursing a cut face and a black-eye following his fight at the weekend, where he lost out to John Simpson.
The actor was hoping that the directors would not be too upset with his battered and bruised face but he said that they were aware that he was fighting before he was due at the studio.
Bell is expected to make his first appearance on our screens in February 2010, where he has been signed-up to do at least four episodes although this could be extended, depending on where the storyline goes.
