DigitalSpy says:
He's off in September, but isn't being killed off in some form of unfortunate hair-straightening accident.
Right, I'm off down the bookies to put a few bob on Nikki Sanderson and Richard Fleeshman's rendition of "I Got You Babe" being a CHristmas Top 30 smash.

Yeah I saw that. Do these people never learn? They all think they're going to be Kylie and never Stefan Denis or Adam Ricketts. Audrey should have a word. She had a hit single back in the day, but it never caused her to leave her soap roots.
He's a good looking lad and has a nice voice. I'd be happy if he was a success, but going from soap to pop never does that well. Martine McCutcheon is the prime example.
Oh, and after Soapstar Superstar he said he had no intentions of leaving Corrie and had signed another 2 yr deal. What happened to that? Must be the same deal Bradley Walsh signed.

But his voice is hardly original and he himself is just some rubbishly obvious indie boy wannabe. Nnnngh.

The thought of him naked and in a Rickettesque glass tank doesn't even excite me. Audrey should have a word. She had a hit single back in the day, but it never caused her to leave her soap roots. Whaaaaat?!!? Do tell us more!

Whaaaaat?!!? Do tell us more! Sue had a hit back in 1968 called 'Where Will You Be' on the back of Crossroads. I think it reached number 17 (but by todays standards that would be enough record sales to be at number one for a month)! She played Marilyn Gates, a Brummie waitress and sang the song on the show. What I love about Crossroads is that Sue played the part for 4 years then decided to leave. Instead of writing her out, they replaced her with a very petite posh actress who had no trace of a Birmingham accent!

My gay boss when I used to work at Barratts shoes used to refer to him as Adam Rickitts (as in the disease.)
Young Corrie actors are only allowed to sign on for six months at a time, so the 2 year big money contract reports where made up by the press.

I was hoping it was going to be they found him getting bummed by Adam Barlow in his dressing room.

I thought he was really good on soapstar superstar - with a decent song, he's probably got a chance of doing well. I'd buy it anyway. (Note to self must try to repress inappropriate Becca-esque crush on 16 yearold).

(Note to self must try to repress inappropriate Becca-esque crush on 16 yearold). I don't like him anymore since he decided to dress like someone in a boyband. Give me Goth Craig any day. And, I happen to think the photo they have to the DS story is really bad.

That is indeed a bad photo - I think he still looks OK on corrie though. What has he done to his hair in that picture? I'm not impressed!

It's Chesney Hawkes!
I'm predicting a similar career trajectory.

He won't even be a stefan Dennis as he's remembered for his dodgy song as well as acting. I see him more like the twins in a 'I'd forgotten they ever realeased a single' way.

They are now saying it's all a lie and he's not going off to do a pop career. Apparently he's been offered a 'huge' acting role and will be taking time off from the Street near the end of the year, but will definately be going back. That soap woman on This Morning said he'd be out of the Street for roughly a month. Why even announce that? Who'd notice if he wasn't around for a few weeks? Most of them go off for months at a time for 'huge' acting roles. Sorry, panto.

Do you all remember when Curly Watts released a single?
**Edit: Actually, how many did he release?

Bulldog Nation.
As it goes, actually, it's not too horrendous a song (as far as I can remember). But, you know, it's Curly Watts! It's not as bad as Tracy Shaw's dreadful 'Happening All Over Again' which managed to have a video that was even worse than the song.
Bulldog Nation was also the song that demonstrated to me that Woolies accept hefty sums of money to place singles in their chart, as they listed it as #1. It didn't even go top 75 as I remember! I don't think that there was a second single, but I believe that there was an album (I certainly remember it being reviewed).
Is it common knowledge that The Fleeshman is Sue Jenkins' (from Corrie and Brookie) sprog? I had no idea, but it gives him some sort of Lowculture bashing immunity as far as I'm concerned.

He just gets hotter and hotter in Corrie though. I'd love to lick his arse.

Haha, no, she looks like a fat K.D. Lang.
I wish she did look like Raquel. I wish she shaved her armpits, but hey hum, you can't always get what you want.
