Corrie to release single?

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 told The Mirror: "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.

Well if a member of Scouting For Girls composed it, we know it's going to be rubbish.

'Coronation Street' star Ian Reddington, who plays Vernon Tomlin in the soap, is set to go up against The Wombats in the fight for this year's Christmas Number One single.

The actor is set to release '(Don't Fall Into) The Mason’s Arms', which his character sings on the show to try and persuade his wife Liz McDonald to get back with him.

The words were written by one of the soap's scriptwriters, and the music was composed by Scouting for Girls' singer Roy Stride.

NME.COM revealed last week (September 18th) that The Wombats would also be taking a shot at this year’s Christmas Number One with track 'Is It Christmas?' to raise money for MENCAP, and wanted to recruit Les Dennis to help them out.
