After 40 years of delighting audiences on ITV soap Coronation Street as mechanic Kevin Webster, actor Michael Le Vell has revealed he has taken on another brand new job on the soap in addition to his on-screen role.The 59 year old actor has swapped his mechanic overalls to become a tour guide on the new All Star Tours taking place on the iconic Manchester set, which will allow die hard fans to come face to face with their on screen heroes while exploring the cobbles.
