Coronation Street stars Jane Danson and Georgia Taylor shared a sweet reunion with their former co-star Chris Gascoyne this week.

The duo, who play currently-warring Battersby sisters Leanne and Toyah, respectively, went to see Peter Barlow star Gascoyne in his pantomime. On Taylor's Instagram, she shared a photo of the three of them backstage.

"Watching our beloved PB giving his best baddie in Pinocchio," she wrote. "Eyeliner and black nail varnish never looked so good on a guy."

Gascoyne's final Corrie scenes aired on Boxing Day last year, and after playing Captain Hook in a panto of Peter Pan last year, he is playing the villainous Stromboli in Pinocchio in Bradford's Alhambra Theatre now.

Earlier this year, he was announced for Channel 5 drama The Feud, which is set for 2025 and has a host of recognisable British TV names in the cast.

"I've grown up with so many people there but I need a rest and to look to do something different, I'm not getting any younger.

"The thing that upset me though was walking away from the people I work with and I don't just mean the actors. I've known all these people for nearly half my life."

Meanwhile, we're just days away from Gail Platt actor Helen Worth's final episode airing, after 50 years of being on the soap.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
