Fleeshman won't rule out Corrie return

Richard Fleeshman has revealed that he would not rule out a return to Coronation Street.

The 18-year-old quit the show to concentrate on a music career in 2006 after winning celebrity singing contest Soapstar Superstar.

However, he said he had not closed the door on returning as Craig Harris in the future, telling the Daily Record: "I never categorically said I wouldn't go back to Corrie. I had an amazing four years and would go back if it was right for me."

Fleeshman split with Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett last October due to their conflicting schedules.

Talking about the current state of his love life, he said: "I'm single now. I'm just going along quite happily with things at the moment. Ironically I'm often far too busy to be looking.

"Being out on the road can be hard. You can't be with anyone. I have no plans about who I'd date in future. It would be stupid to rule out anything with another actor."

Fleeshman kicked off his UK tour last night. His new single 'Hold Me Close' was released on Monday.
