There's more TV stardom for Southampton as the city features in one of the latest storylines on beloved soap Coronation Street.
Just months after millions tuned in to see the Gavin and Stacey finale supposedly end in dramatic fashion at The Docks, there's another big storyline for Southampton, this time on the cobbles of Corrie.
In the long running soap, set in Manchester, Matt Milburn reprised his role as Tommy for a one-off guest appearance, which updates fans on his relationship with Tracy McDonald.

Tommy reappeared unexpectedly in The Rovers Return to inform Tracy that he has landed a new football coaching job in Southampton, so they'll have to move away together again.
Tracy insists that she's going nowhere, then orders Tommy to choose between her and the new job.
He opts for Southampton - and let's hope he can give the Saints boys a boost!
