Actor Tom Hudson is set to join the cast of 'Coronation Street' as the grandson of Jack and Vera Duckworth.

The new character Paul is Terry Duckworth's son. Viewers previously heard about him when he needed a kidney transplant.

Vera paid Terry £25,000 to donate a kidney to his son but Terry ran off with the money.

Speaking about his new character, Hudson told the Sunday Mirror: "He's a chip off the old block - a loveable rogue. But it soon becomes clear that he's less of the loveable and more of the rogue."

"He's definitely got an eye for the ladies - Weatherfield's women aren't going to know what's hit them."
