Whenever Coronation Street legend Kevin Kennedy sets foot back on home turf in Manchester he knows a certain rumour mill will inevitably start to turn.
And just to add further fuel to the fire, Kevin says he will be heading back to the cobbles of Corrie this week while on a break from performing on stage at Manchester Opera House in musical Rock of Ages.
Kevin famously played Corrie's Curly Watts in the soap for 20 years in the 1980s and 90s. He remains one of the show's best-loved characters, who fans regularly demand should make a return.
