Vernon's Song To Be Released

Coronation Street actor Ian Reddington plans to release his on-screen ballad '(Don't Fall Into) The Mason's Arms' in the hope of securing Christmas number one.

At the beginning of this month, the 50-year-old's Weatherfield character Vernon Tomlin hoped to win back the heart of his wife Liz McDonald (Bev Callard) by wooing her with the song intended as a put-down of her bookmaker lover Harry Mason (Jack Ellis).

Speaking of the song's success, Reddington said: "I've been blown away by the response to the song, which was written by Street scriptwriters. There are talks to see if we can release it in time for Christmas. It would be fantastic to see it at No 1."

Ironically, Reddington's final scenes in the ITV soap, which air tonight, see a disappointed Vernon drive off in a van London-bound after securing a record deal. A preoccupied Liz, however, fails to turn up to say goodbye.

Scouting For Girls frontman Roy Stride composed the music, while Coronation Street writer Carmel Morgan penned the lyrics.

Hear his song and weep ;D

FFS. Surely the song was intended ironically, to highlight Vernon's all round naffness, and to explain his life long failure to make it big in the music industry?

Where will it end?
A Supergroup with Jack, Reet, Vernon and Miss Hell?

Where will you be?
Born with a smile on my chops
We'll find our day
More than in love


aye they were good tunes

I've still got More Than In Love and copied it to CD. It's now on my phone.
