Todd had to be written out of the ITV soap after Bruno, 37, was convicted of sexually assaulting two women in a bar in Manchester in 2017.

Viewers were told Todd had assaulted a police officer and “gone on the run” but now the Star claims casting have already started to find a new actor to play the popular character.

In recent months, the soap has dropped a couple of hints that Todd could be on his way back to Weatherfield.

“I think this will be the time I hear from him but I never do of course.”

And vicar Billey Mayhew – who Todd had a relationship with – mentioned he was going to come face-to-face with “a blast from the past”.

He previously said of his new career: “I’m really happy being creative in this way.

Bruno was spared jail but was issued with a 12 month community order, an electronic tag and ordered to stick to a curfew as well as pay compensation to his victims.
