Corrie's Gazey: I'd love more scenes with Becky

Coronation Street newcomer Craig Gazey has revealed that he would love to see his character have more scenes with Rovers barmaid Becky Granger.

The 26-year-old, who plays eccentric fantasising scally Graeme Proctor, recently returned to the ITV soap following his successful first stint during David Platt's (Jack P. Shepherd) stretch in the Young Offenders' Institute.

In his first interview since joining the Street, Gazey told DS: "In a non-sexual way, I'd like to see him in some scenes with Becky [Granger, played by Katherine Kelly]. They might be too alike, but I think they'd have some great fun.

"As for a relationship, I think that Sophie [Webster] is brilliant, played by Brooke Vincent. Sophie can be quite gobby and I think she'd give him a run for his money. I'm not sure if she's a bit young, though!"

Describing his character, he added: "[Graeme's] a bit of a mentalist. I'd say he was eccentric, too. I call him a fantasising scally. He's always going off on these little rants. He's quite switched on, though. Just a bit mad and playful."
