Which Coronation Street star camps out on set to avoid a commute?

Coronation Street star Joe Duttine has reportedly been roughing it by sleeping in his camper van on the soap set during filming.

The 44-year-old actor – who plays window cleaner Tim Metcalfe in the ITV show – lives in Sheffield, and commutes to work at the Coronation Street studios in Manchester.

According to the Sun, Joe revealed to his co-stars he has been staying the night on the Weatherfield set in his VW camper van, rather than staying in a hotel.

A source told the newspaper: “In the past, Joe has used a camper van to stay in when on acting jobs away from his own home. He bought it a few years back for family holidays, which he really enjoys.

“When Joe knows he’ll be finishing filming late or starting early, he sometimes brings along the motorhome.”
