FORMER Coronation Street star Danny Young will switch on Leigh's Christmas lights on Saturday.

While his on-screen character, Warren Baldwin, is supposed to living in sunny Spain, Danny, 19, will brave the cold winds of the Thames Estuary to be special guest at the ceremony.

The teenager left the popular soap opera this year and recently appeared on Sky football programme, The Match, alongside famous faces including Phil Tufnell and Ralf Little.
