Ryan Adams has sparked rumours that he may appear in a special episode of Coronation Street after tweeting his love for the show over the weekend.
Adams first remarked that he was watching the ITV soap on his day off and expressed that he wished to appear on the programme, specifically to play a “time traveler cyborg”. He asked his followers: “Who can hook me up?”

The show’s official Twitter account then responded to Adams, saying they could “see it now – sent back from the future to save Andy from Phelan?”

The plot thickened when one Twitter user suggested, “The cyborg could run a fish and chip shop down the street from the Rovers Return Inn.” Adams then re-tweeted the idea, before writing his own tweet stating: “I am so excited to announce I’ll be the new time traveling, cyborg fish and chips shop owner on @itvcorrie Bless!”
I would pay good money to see this be an actual thing. The cyborg could run a fish and chip shop down the street from the Rovers Return Inn.
