Coronation Street newcomer Jack Carroll reveals all on ‘chaotic’ character and a budding romance on the Cobbles

He said: "He is a kind of lovable trouble-causer really, I think. He gets away with a lot, and kind of leans on his cheekiness and his disability.

"I wouldn't know anything about either of those two things, so it's been quite the stretch for me to play!

"But he's a humorous character, and kind of in that vein of a classic Corrie, funny kind of rabble-rouser."

He added: "I'm in the factory. Luckily not modelling any of the merchandise as of yet - I don't know what they've got in the future!

"I'm in the factory and Carla's managed to swing me a job in the factory, so there's a lot of me causing chaos in there as well. So that's been really good fun."

Will romance will blossom for Bobby?

Jack revealed: "He's got his eye on somebody, I don't really think I'm allowed to say who that is yet; but it's definitely something I think we've got planned for the future.

"That'll be good fun as well, because that's just another aspect of his chaos-causing behaviour!"

Jack also hinted a huge storyline will see Bobby in the spotlight.

He continued: "I only found out yesterday the kind of nuts and bolts of what the story is, and it's very, very exciting. I would even go so far as to say blockbuster.

"There's always a little bit of apprehension, because I'd only been there a week or a couple of weeks, and then I found out that I was going to be a part of this massive storyline.

"But I think after that dissipates a little bit, then you're just very excited to get stuck in, and that's where I'm at now.

"I just can't wait to get working and expand on the character, and see what craziness they put me in."

When asked about how it feels to be joining the ITV soap this festive season, Jack replied: "It's absolutely fantastic, and I don't really think there's any better time of year, really, because everyone will be hopefully glued to their television screens.

"And I'll be there causing chaos and distracting them from their selection boxes, which is a great honour!"
