CORONATION Street has revealed Jason Grimshaw’s new love interest - and it’s a familiar face.
Ryan Thomas, 40, will soon make his highly-anticipated return to the cobbles after nearly a decade away.
He first appeared on the ITV soap back in 2000 before he made his first departure in 2016.
As he makes his Coronation Street comeback this week after nine years, it seems that the character will waste no time getting reacquainted with those on the street.
The former Celebrity Big Brother winner previously hinted that there may be a potential romance on the cards.
He previously teased that he would be rumbled by other Weatherfield residents after he takes a mystery woman home.

According to spoilers, it's been revealed that Jason's love interest will be none other than Danielle Silverton (Natalie Anderson).
She is of course the wife of Theo Silverton (James Cartwright), who had an illicit affair with Jason's brother Todd (Gareth Pierce) before it all came out.
After Sarah (Tina O'Brien) was caught lying for Todd, Danielle soon caught her husband kissing Todd.
Although he vowed to stick with his wife, their marriage has been struggling to survive and Theo's daughter soon turned up on the street to confront him.
