Shane appeared on ‘The One Show’ to discuss the project, explaining: "We start filming in Ireland literally straight after the play. We're out there for three and a half, four months.
“We're so excited. We know the story – we know Alfie's got a brain tumour and Kat has a son. We don't know where it's being filmed.”
A number of key details still need to be pinned down though, and Shane added: "Tomorrow we've got a big meeting where we'll be looking at scripts.
“We haven't got a title for it at the moment, but all we know is that it's gonna be massive.”
Shane first appeared as Alfie in 2002
The as-yet-untitled show will arrive on our screens in the Autumn.
