Andrew Still joining Coronation Street

Andrew Still is joining ‘Coronation Street’.

The former ‘Hollyoaks’ star is heading to the cobbles of the ITV1 soap in a recurring guest spot as character Justin.

Andrew previously starred as Joel Dexter in the Channel 4 soap between 2011 and 2013, a role assumed by Rory Douglas-Speed.

After leaving the fictional Cheshire town, the soap star played Scott Fairchild in the long-running BBC school drama ‘Waterloo Road’ for a year’ until 2015.

Andrew - who made his return to acting with the movie ‘Nobody Has to Know with ex ‘Game of Thrones’ star Michelle Fairley - can be currently seen as Rory Dashford in ‘Granite Harbour’, a BBC one drama which last week.

The ex ‘Hollyoaks Later’ star has spoken about going through a number of out of work “periods” in the acting industry.

Andrew said in 2015: “After I came out of 'Hollyoaks', I had one of those periods where you are not sure where you are going.

“You know they talk about 90 per cent of actors being out of work – well, I had the out-of-work experience. I had a year solid of getting nothing.

“Those kind of periods make you doubt yourself. I have to thank everybody at 'Waterloo Road' because they really gave me a chance to come out of that.

“It was a pretty rotten period but it teaches you a lot about yourself.

"I am not a big a fan of the glitz and glamour. I just want to settle down and work. So you come out of a show like 'Hollyoaks' and you don’t have the job but you have all the other stuff – you are still walking about the street and getting noticed.

“That’s not a terrible thing but it can be overbearing when you just want to walk through town but you end up walking fast and not making eye contact. It was a very strange time.”
