Actress, Julie Hesmondalgh, is to return to Coronation Street according to The Mirror.

The actress was allowed to take a twelve month break from the ITV soap last year due to exhaustion, but is due to return to our screens after the summer.

A source told The Mirror: “Julie just wanted to take time off and do normal things like take her daughter to school. Re-charging her batteries and being a mum was top of the agenda.

“Julie is such a popular member of the show that she really has been missed.”
