TV heartthrob Oliver Mellor, who is in Swindon performing at the Wyvern Theatre in Agatha Christie’s Black Coffee, popped in to meet the nurses of Great Western Hospital yesterday.
Corrie fans will remember Mellor for his role as Dr Matt Carter, where his storylines included helping those injured by the tram accident, having a relationship with barmaid Tina McIntyre.
“We were so excited when we first heard that Oliver was coming to the Great Western Hospital. A lot of our staff are big fans of Coronation Street and so were thrilled he had chosen to come here,” a spokesman said
