Coronation Street star Jane Danson reunited with Emrhys Cooper just weeks after his departure from the soap.
Cooper left his role as Rowan Cunliffe on the ITV soap earlier this month, with his final episode coming on December 2 as the character was sent down for his involvement with the Institute cult.
Cooper has since taken to the stage at the St Helens Theatre Royal as he plays Prince Frederick in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, with Danson – who plays Leanne Battersby on the soap – sharing a photo of her alongside Cooper as she watched his performance.
