Andy Whyment returns to Coronation Street after I'm A Celebrity - and gets a free haircut

Coronation Street star Andy Whyment has been celebrating the perks of the job after returning to Weatherfield after I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

Andy, who plays Kirk Sutherland, was treated to a free haircut from the Corrie makeup department on his first day back on the cobbles after his successful stint in the jungle.

Andy, 38, from Salford, joked that the free cut was 'even better' than the £6 he usually pays his barber.

In Australia Andy raised laughs when he compared salon prices with American reality TV star and former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner, explaining that the amount she tips is more than he pays his barber.

"First day back @coronationstreet after @imacelebrity and got a free hair cut from @corriemakeup even better than the £6 I pay my barber," he wrote on Instagram, sharing a photo of himself with the makeup squad.

"Really glad to be back doing my proper job."

Andy, who came runner-up on the reality contest after former EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa, had an emotional homecoming party with his family after landing back in the UK, including the granddad who Andy talked about the jungle.

Posting photos from the drinks the father of two said: "Loved seeing everyone at my welcome home drinks, and thanks so much to all the staff at the Botanical Gardens, even my Grandad Palma Nova that Ant and Dec were always talking about came."
