CORONATION Street star and Ilkeston-born actor William Roache has returned to filming, according to a national newspaper.
The Mirror said his character Ken Barlow arrives just in time to see on-screen son Peter being taken to court.
In its report, the newspaper said the 82-year-old actor - who has played Ken Barlow on the ITV1 soap since it began in 1960 - has reportedly returned to filming on a reduced schedule to ease him back into a full-time comeback.
Mr Roache has been absent from the show following allegations of historic sex offences but he returned to filming after he was cleared of all charges.
