Coronation Street star Vicky Entwistle has revealed that she would like Janice Battersby to rediscover some of her troublesome old ways.

The actress admitted that she relished scenes which depicted her character as a "nightmare" to be around when the Battersby clan first joined Weatherfield in 1997.

She told Inside Soap: "We assaulted other characters during our first week on set - it was fabulous. I'd love to be the nightmare neighbour again."

Entwistle added that she would also love to see the return of Les (Bruce Jones) and Toyah (Georgia Taylor) Battersby if screen daughter Leanne marries Peter Barlow as reported last month.

She explained: "If rumours in the press about a possible wedding for Peter and Leanne are to be believed, I'd love Bruce to come back so Les can give her away.

"Georgia's doing so well in Casualty, so I'm not sure she'd be able to commit to Corrie long-term. But it would be great for the Battersbys to be reunited for one episode."
