The actor, who is famed for playing Kirk Sutherland in the ITV soap, is no stranger to a reality show

Coronation Street star Andy Whyment found himself being tipped for a Strictly Come Dancing stint after he was seen letting lose in a new social media post.

The actor, who is famed for playing Kirk Sutherland in the ITV soap, is no stranger to a reality show having appeared in I’m A Celebrity… get Me Out of Here not once but twice having appeared last year in the show’s first-ever spin off, I’m A Celebrity… South Africa.

Salford-born Andy also gave Dancing on Ice a go back in 2012 where he was paired up with professional skater Vicky Ogden and finished in sixth place.

But could Strictly be calling sometime soon? His fans seem to think so after he took to Instagram with a video in which he could be seen busting some moves to Missy Elliot’s 2001 hit ‘Get Ur Freak On’.

The soap star could be seeing sporting a grey rollneck top and jeans as he bounced around his living room with the person filming him giggling from behind the camera. Captioning the post, Andy wrote: “Me getting my freak on to Missy Elliott.”

And his fans and followers were quick to respond. @brian.white1958 said: “Strictly needs you Andy!!” @suzanneob3 commented: “Strictly next year!” @alison.mitchell.0303 wrote: “I so love your energy @andywhy36 you go lad hahaha lush person you are.”

@big_tony63 asked: “Strictly next year?” @smiliesteve replied: “OMG get on strictly mate lol.” @tina3438 posted: “Strictly come dancing next year for you.” @stefwithers added: “Strictly ballroom calling.”

It comes after Andy took to social media with a pesonal tribute to his son as he celebrated a milestone birthday. Sharing pictures of Tom taken throughough the years, the 43-year-old typed: “From toddler to 6ft 2inchs. Happy 16th Birthday @tomwhyment. Enjoy your day. Love you son.”
