A show insider told the Radio Times: “January’s episodes of Corrie will see a penniless Pat returning to his old haunts and getting a job working for Kevin Webster.

“But what will Anna make of Phelan’s reappearance? And what will the repercussions be for Anna’s fledgling romance with Kev?”

The actor first joined Corrie in 2013.
