Debbie said: "I play Lilly, cousin to Margie played by Lisa Loops, and niece to Betty played by Reality TV star Jane Buckle, and I'm married to Billy whom is really clumsy and loves to Rap with Betty. I can't wait to get stuck into my script and later film on set."

Craig added: "I'm excited as we film on location in an actual pub and we certainly make an impact when we arrive on our first scene.

"I get to do some stunts as I am a clumsy Scotsman hated by the Landlord Jimbo.

"This will be a great sitcom that we will really get our teeth into so watch this space as the writers have big plans for our characters throughout the series."
