Coronation Street legend Beverley Callard is teaming up with Radio 1's Jordan North for a new ITV travel show.

The pair became good friends after appearing on last year's I'm A Celebrity and 'both jumped at the chance' to work together when approached by channel bosses.

Beverley, 64, and Jordan, 31, hit it off while filming in the ruins of Gwrych Castle in Wales and their new show promises 'not just good culture and amazing food – but a whole load of laughs'.

A source told The Sun: 'They have a very natural chemistry and that relationship continued off screen.

'Everything is still being mapped out for the pair and producers are currently working on the exact locations the duo will travel to.'

The paper added that due to their close friendship, the show is destined to be 'a huge success'.

MailOnline has reached out to both Beverley and Jordan's representatives for comment.

Jordan finished the competition in second place, with Giovanna Fletcher crowned the first-ever Queen of the Castle.

He quickly became a fan favourite as he faced many of his fears, during the show's Bushtucker Trial, including his intense phobia of snakes.

Meanwhile, Beverley – best known for playing Liz McDonald in ITV soap – was voted off of the show alongside Victoria Derbyshire the series' first double elimination in November.

The actress credited her stint in the I'm A Celebrity castle with giving her a new lease of life.

Taking to Instagram last month, Beverley joked she was 'growing old disgracefully' as she shared a series of pictures of herself sat on her new Vespa.

Beverley returned to social media after a five week absence to show her 160,000 followers her new scooter.

She said: 'I know I've been a bit boring and a bit quiet on here recently. Hope everyone is enjoying life now that some restrictions have lifted.

'We definitely are... @jonmmac55 [her husband Jon] and I have been on a few little adventures that I'm so excited to share with you soon but for now.. I wanted to show you this... growing old disgracefully [laughing face emoji]'

The actress beamed from ear to ear as she sat on the seat of her bike for pictures, even lifting her feet in the air at points.
