Corrie's Graeme gets romance storyline

Craig Gazey has revealed that his Coronation Street character will soon find love.

The actor confirmed that a romance storyline is on the cards for Graeme Proctor but remained tight-lipped about who his partner will be.

Speaking to PA, Gazey commented: "I can't say who but I've been told that Graeme hopefully soon will get a love interest. Maybe someone on the Street, maybe not, but something is coming up for him."

He continued: "It's always a little bit embarrassing because with an on-screen kiss you know that person hasn't chosen to kiss you, so I'm not that excited about that. It's more the fact that it will be good to find a new dimension for Graeme."

Gazey also said that he would be happy if the ITV1 soap's producers chose to reveal that Graeme is a virgin.

"I think he's vulnerable and I'd like to see how he deals with a relationship," he added.

The star first discussed his desire for a love plot in an interview with DS in July, suggesting that a "big, chavvy" girl would be ideal for Graeme.
