Yahoo News Former Corrie star Charlie Condou offers first look at Holby City role
Former Coronation Street star Charlie Condou was revealed to be joining Holby City earlier this month, and now we have a first look at him in action, scrubs and all.
The actor unveiled his surgeon character Ben in a new Instagram post, teasing that it was his "first day in scrubs" as he began filming.
Charlie's character is described as a "charming, alpha consultant who will be stirring up the dynamics in the hospital", and it seems that it won't be long until he catches the eye of a member of the team.
"I'm over the moon to be joining Holby City as suave new Doctor Ben Sherwood," he said when the announcement was made.
"He's a good guy but will definitely be ruffling a few feathers over the coming months. I can't wait to get started!"
"Charlie's a very fine actor and well-known popular TV face – and we are very lucky to have tempted him to Holby," executive producer Simon Harper added. "I can't wait to see him as Ben, both causing a stir and getting under the skin of his colleagues on Keller!"
The actor famously played the role of Marcus Dent between 2007 and 2008, and again for a longer stint between 2011 and 2014.
Holby City airs on Tuesday evenings at 8pm on BBC One.
