Happy Mondays singer Shaun Ryder has landed a cameo role in the latest series of Channel 4 series Shameless, says a report in the Sun.

Ryder is allegedly a huge fan of the TV show and thinks it is really funny says an insider, ‘His scenes in it are particularly hilarious, He has a very dry sense of humour.’

The singers role coincides with a plot line that sees Micky and Shane McGuire open a tourist business called Madchester, taking tourists around the Manchester music landmarks. Shane dresses up as Morrisey  and ‘Looks brilliant’ says the insider ‘More convincing than Shaun as Shaun, who sent himself up a treat.’

Can’t wait, Shameless is possibly the most under rated series on UK TV.
