Craig Charles gives Coronation Street return verdict as he leaves Radio 2 show

Craig Charles has given his verdict on returning to Coronation Street after revealing how he felt about leaving his BBC Radio 2 show.

The Liverpool-born presenter has "mixed feelings" about the loss of his BBC Radio 2 show amid the broadcaster's schedule shake-up earlier this year. The 58-year-old DJ and actor, best known for his roles in Red Dwarf and Coronation Street, presented The Craig Charles House Party on Radio 2 from 2016 until June 18 this year.

Craig, who continues to host The Craig Charles Funk And Soul Show on Radio 6 Music every Saturday evening, revealed his disappointment at exiting his Radio 2 slot in an interview with Radio Times. He said: "I have mixed feelings." but added he understood the decision.
