The 81-year-old actor, who has played Ken Barlow in the ITV soap since 1960, will attempt at inter-species communication as part of the daytime programme's 'Supernatural Week' which starts on Monday.
While many probably suspect the Corrie star is barking up the wrong tree, a This Morning source believes it will make TV gold, telling The Sun newspaper: ‘It should be quite a spectacle.’

Pooch: Bill has two Jack Russells which he believes he has communicated with in the past and resemble this one
‘I wasn't aware Jackie had ever watched me in the show. I have a great deal to learn about this animal world.’
Bill is known for his alternative beliefs and is a member of the Pure Love Movement, which claims the power of love can have healing properties.
The Pure Love Movement believe that 2012 is the start of a 'golden age' when war, poverty and famine disappear as people discover a higher meaning.
The actor - who has admitted to bedding over 1,000 women - has even given up sex to focus on his spiritual beliefs and focus on developing healing powers.
Bill said: ‘Miracles can happen in healing. I heard about one lad who was suffering from cancer, who was cured instantly. I think we'll see more of that soon.
‘I could put my hands on someone and cure them of something really serious. But that will only happen if it will help the message to be heard.’
The former woman–loving star split up with TV weathergirl Emma Jesson, his 44-year-old partner of three years, late last year after choosing to focus on the soap and his spiritual side rather than sex and relationships.
At the time he admitted: ‘I don't need a sexual relationship anymore. Things still work, everything works, but I don't have that need for sex I used to have.'
Impersonator: Bill claims that one of his dogs even did an impersonation of his Coronation Street wife Deirdre
'He wants that to be his path now and I accept that as he needs to be at peace with himself.
'We always knew 2012 would be a big year for him.'
