Coronation Street: Joel killer unmasked

Corrie fans are super excited by the prospect of finding out who really killed Joel Deering. A whodunnit has been developing on the cobbles of the last month or so, and tonight answers will finally be given.

As flashbacks show what really happened on the night Joel lost his life, fans will FINALLY find out who actually killed him. Ahhh!

With these flashbacks being set to be Calum Lill's last scenes on the soap, the actor is ready to crack on with his next role. But, what is it?

Calum Lill's new acting role revealed

The actor, whose previous credits include Doctors, Holby City and Hollyoaks, has already lined up a new venture...and it looks as if Joel won't be the only villain on his resume!

This time around, Calum is taking to the stage, starring in Bournemouth Pavilion's annual pantomine, as the evil 'Fleshcreep'.

While Calum is clearly no stranger to playing the bad guy, how will he react to the boos, hisses and 'he's behind you!'s from panto audiences? We're sure he'll love it! (Oh no he won't!)

The pantomime, which also stars Milkshake's David Ribi and comedian Noel Brodie, will be showing from Saturday 7th December until Sunday 5th January, so get your tickets while you can! Prices range from £18-£37.50, with discounts offered to groups and schools.

We've also seen Calum take part in the Great Manchester Run, appear as a guest for the Going For a Take podcast (co-hosted by Corrie co-star Adam Hussain) and, of course, make us all laugh with his iconic TikTok videos. We can't wait to see what he does next!

While we're sure the slimy lawyer won't be missed by anybody on the Street, Calum's talent will definitely be missed by many viewers. We can't wait to see what he does next!

Will you be seeing Calum in panto?
