Comedian Jon Richardson is to join the cast of school drama Waterloo Road.
Richardson is known for TV shows like 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and Meet the Richardsons, and for his Saturday morning show on Absolute Radio.
He will enter the long-running BBC show’s staff room for its 16th series, but his role has not been revealed.
The announcement comes after Richardson posted a video on Instagram claiming he had got a new job after training as a teacher.
