That Antony Cotton Show

LET THEM EAT CAKE, SAYS ANTONY

WELL done to Coronation Street star, Antony Cotton, who has been named as ITV1’s new tea-time chat show host.

The newly-commissioned, That Antony Cotton Show will air this summer for five weeks, with each episode lasting an hour.

It’s being billed as a combination of celebrity chat and topical humour, and will be filmed at Granada Studios in Manchester. The good news for Corrie fans is that Antony will also continue to appear as Sean Tully in the soap.

“The Coronation Street producers have been kind enough to allow me to leave the cobbles earlier in the day to get into the studio next door to make the show,” says Antony, who admits he’s looking forward to the challenge.

“It's going to be gossipy, light-hearted, chatty and irreverent but most of all fun, with lots of tea and cake,” he adds.

That Antony Cotton Show is being made by ITV Productions and will be series produced by Amanda Sangorski. The executive producers are Mark Wells and Rachel Ashdown.
