Coronation Street favourites Shayne Ward and Catherine Tyldesley will reunite in new C5 drama The Good Ship Murder.
The former soap stars – who played Aidan Connor and Eva Price respectively – have joined the cast of a murder mystery set to air in 2023.
It marks the first time the pair have appeared together since their ill-fated on-screen relationship in ITV’s Corrie.
Here’s everything you need to know about their new series The Good Ship Murder on C5.
What is The Good Ship Murder on Channel 5 about?
Channel 5 has announced that Shayne Ward and Catherine Tyldesley will lead the cast in its upcoming murder mystery drama, The Good Ship Murder.
The series follows former police detective Jack Grayling, who pursues his dream of becoming a cabaret singer on a luxury Mediterranean cruise ship.
But his attempts to leave his past life as a CID doesn’t go too well…
Much like Agatha Christie’s novel Death on the Nile, Jack Grayling soon faces a wave of murders on board.
Channel 5 tells us that “Jack tackles both showstopping performances on stage and unravels intricately planned mysteries in this clever, fast-paced, and life-a?rming new series”.
Jack teams up with First O?cer Kate Woods and, together, the unlikely duo attempt to solve the spate of murders.
Fierce and ambitious, Kate is a woman in a man’s world with plenty to prove.
Jack is thrust back into his former life as a detective when a passenger is found murdered on board.
Who plays Jack in the cast of The Good Ship Murder on C5?
Shayne Ward, 38, takes on the leading role of Jack Grayling in the Channel 5 series.
Jack is a former police detective.
He finds his dreams of becoming a singer on a cruise ship are thwarted when a series of murders take place.
Of course, Shayne Ward is perhaps best known for winning the second series of The X Factor in 2005.
He went on to play Aidan Connor in ITV soap Coronation Street.
Corrie fans will know that Shayne was involved in Aidan’s heartbreaking suicide storyline.
Shayne Ward said: “I’m really excited to be taking on this exciting role in this brand-new drama.
“Allowing me to combine my two passions: music and acting.
