Keith Duffy discusses Corrie return

Keith Duffy has confirmed that he expects to return to filming at Coronation Street in September.

The actor recently took a break from his role as Ciaran McCarthy on the ITV1 soap in order to tour with Boyzone. On screen, viewers saw Ciaran leave Weatherfield with girlfriend Michelle Connor after landing a job on a cruise.

Kym Marsh, who plays Michelle, is currently on maternity leave after giving birth to a baby girl named Polly last month.

Speaking on Loose Women about his Corrie future, Duffy revealed: "I'm back up in Manchester, please God if they give me a job back, in September - the 15th of September.

"Kym Marsh, who's obviously Ciaran's partner on the screen, is off on maternity leave with her lovely little baby Polly at the moment. I think the two of us will return together."

Boyzone completed their latest tour last month.
