Tony Maudsley, known for his portrayal of George Shuttleworth on the popular show Coronation Street, has recently announced a new role that will take him away from the familiar cobbles. The 55-year-old actor has been a regular on the show since 2020 and has also gained recognition for his role as Kenneth Du Beke on ITV's Benidorm.
Excitement and anticipation filled the air as Tony took to Instagram to share a promotional photo for his latest gig. "AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 WEIGHS," he wrote, teasing his followers with the title of the new series. He also revealed that he will be the narrator for the show, which will give viewers a unique perspective on how different cultures around the world view and manage obesity. The first stop of the journey? Japan!
Tony's co-stars from Coronation Street were quick to congratulate him on his new venture. Claire Sweeney commented, "Ooohhhh can't wait for this," while @pdunn7955 added, "Look forward to seeing this."

On January 9, he posted a missing poster of Michael, who was last seen in Glasgow on Sunday morning. Tony reached out to his followers on Twitter, asking for help in locating his friend, whom he described as "part of the family."
Tragically, a few hours later, Tony announced that Michael had passed away. Along with a photo of the two of them, he wrote, "Thank you so much to everyone for all your efforts in reposting our appeal to find Michael yesterday. I'm so sad to say that we found out late last night that we've lost our beautiful friend. Our whole Benidorm family is devastated and we'll miss him hugely. RIP Michael."
While it's a difficult time for Tony and his loved ones, his fans are eagerly looking forward to his new show, which will air on Channel 4 starting Tuesday, January 16 at 9pm. It's a bittersweet moment for the talented actor, but his dedication to his craft and his loved ones is undeniable. We wish Tony all the best in his future endeavors.
