Duffy to stay in Corrie for another year

Keith Duffy - flirty Coronation Street barman Ciaran McCarthy - has decided to stay on at the Rovers, signing a new £80,000 contract tying him to the soap for another year.

Corrie producer Tony Wood promised Duffy "dramatic storylines" over the next twelve months, including an affair with the Street's resident super-bitch Tracy Barlow.

An insider told The Sun: "Keith’s plans for doing a Boyzone comeback tour have been put on hold."
