“Kirk was initially cast for a supporting role of only seven episodes, but look at him now! He’s become an integral part of the Coronation Street family, capturing our hearts with his endearing charm and comedic timing. Andy’s infectious energy and genuine connection with the audience left everyone starry-eyed and craving more.”
So, how do you get yourself on one of Andy’s tours?
A VIP Stars ticket will set you back £45 but will allow you to sneak behind the scenes with a member of the Coronation Street cast.
Other actors who have previously given tours include Alan Halsall and Chris Gascoyne.
But you’ll have to hurry as the experience sounds popular.
“Booking my train now!” Commented on fan on the announcement.
Somebody else said: “WOW this would be incredible.”
“Kirk is my favourite.” Said someone else.
Coronation Street usually airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV.
