PRIMAL SCREAM‘S frontman Bobby Gillespie has said he is “honoured” after receiving a shout out on soap drama Coronation Street.
The Scots singer tweeted about his new found honour after a member of the cast name dropped him during last night’s episode.
Delighted with his shout out, 58-year-old Bobby then tweeted last night: “Made it on to CORRIE….HONOURED!”
Bobby from Glasgow added a video of his new found Corrie fame which shows the soap’s characters Cathy Matthews and Bernie Winter inside Roy’s Rolls.
Roy’s Rolls worker Bernie can be seen dancing around to the popular Primal Scream song ‘Movin on Up’.
She recounts an apparent meeting with singer Bobby at Glastonbury, saying: “Bobby Gillespie.
“I shared a samosa with him once at Glasto once, or was it a meat and potato pie.”
Since Bobby shared his shoutout onto his Twitter page last night, the singer has received dozens of comments from sarcastic users who claim he has “made it”.
