AUF Wiedersehen, Pet star Tim Healy is off to the Rovers Return.
Geordie Tim, 53, is joining Corrie as camp Sean Tully’s long-lost dad.
He follows in the footsteps of his missus, Denise Welch, 47, who played racy Rovers landlady Natalie Barnes.
The Sun revealed in February that Street bosses were introducing a family for popular Sean, played by Antony Cotton.
And Tim is to be Brian Tully, his father. The pair will meet up at the funeral of Sean’s aunt in June.
An insider said: “Sean’s forced into making contact with his dad and it opens a whole can of worms. Brian doesn’t even know Sean is gay.”
Tim, who played Dennis Patterson in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, will be on screen from June 5 and has signed up for seven episodes.
He said last night: “I am thrilled to be joining the cast of Coronation Street.
“I have already been in to meet Antony.
“I appeared on the show in 1976 as a bingo caller in a scene with Hilda Ogden, so to come back 30 years later is fantastic.”
