The actor is famed for playing Kirk Sutherland in the legendary TV show,

a role he’ll celebrates 25 years of next year. Coronation Street star Andy Whyment

has ruled out appearing on Strictly Come Dancing like many of his former colleagues as

it would mean he’d have to do something he doesn’t want to do.

The actor is no stranger to reality TV when not appearing on the ITV soap. Andy, who is best known for playing Kirk Sutherland, a role he’ll celebrate 25 years of next year, has previously captured the hearts of the nation with appearances on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here and Dancing on Ice.

After finishing runner-up in the Australian jungle back in 2019, Andy event had a second shot at the Ant and Dec-fronted show last year when he appeared in the show’s first-ever spin-off, I’m A Celebrity… South Africa.

But the Salford-born star has now opened up on if he would ever set his sights on another show, away from the famous street. Speaking at the Sedulo Colour Ball in Manchester, Andy told Express.co.uk: “I love playing Kirk. I’ve always said I’ll stay at Corrie for as long as they will have me.”

When asked if he would ever appear on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing to make a trifecta of reality TV shows, Andy said: “No, I doubt it.” He explained: “We’re not allowed to do it. It’s BBC so unless you leave Corrie, then you can’t.” He added: “Ellie Leach was on it last year, but she left Coronation Street. She was amazing.”

Andy, however, admitted that there was one show that he would consider – Big Brother. The 43-year-old said that he enjoyed watching his co-star Colson Smith, who plays Corrie’s Craig Tinker, in the Celebrity Big Brother reboot earlier this year, as he added: “I’ve always liked Big Brother.”

Referring to the diet he endured while appearing on I’m a Celeb, the soap star joked: “And you don’t have to starve do you in Big Brother.”

Andy Whyment, known for his role as Kirk Sutherland on Coronation Street, has had a successful career in reality TV as well.

After captivating audiences on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here and Dancing on Ice, the actor has ruled out participating on Strictly Come Dancing.

During an interview at the Sedulo Colour Ball in Manchester, Andy expressed his loyalty to Coronation Street, stating, “I love playing Kirk. I’ve always said I’ll stay at Corrie for as long as they will have me.”

When the topic of Strictly Come Dancing was brought up, Andy explained that due to contractual restrictions, he wouldn’t be able to join the popular BBC show while still on Corrie.

While he may not be interested in Strictly, Andy did mention that he would consider being a part of Big Brother, citing his enjoyment of watching his co-star Colson Smith on the Celebrity Big Brother reboot.

With his dedication to Coronation Street and a successful stint in reality TV already under his belt, fans can continue to enjoy Andy’s portrayal of Kirk Sutherland on the iconic show.
