The upcoming episodes will feature a new cast member – Julie Wilson Nimmo – Greg Hamphill’s wife.

Speaking to The Sunday Post, the duo said Julie is set to become a regular character.

Greg said: “We just noticed there was a part that was the perfect age for her.

“Ford was actually the one that suggested it and I thought, ‘Great, more money coming in to our house!’

“We don’t work together that often so it’s nice when we get the chance to do something.”

This will be the eighth series of the popular comedy show.
