Coronation Street character Kirk Sutherland is pictured in today's Sun as one of the hopefuls at the last night of the X Factor auditions.The paper says that actor Andy Whyment was in character as Kirk at the Manchester auditions, but Corrie bosses remained tight-lipped about his appearance - insisting it was for a stunt and NOT for a storyline.
However, over at rival tabloid the Mirror, they say that Kirk turned up for the audition as part of Corrie's 50th anniversary celebrations.
