Daniel Brocklebank ‘It's strange being back at work'

The Corrie star is delighted to welcome Billy back!

So you’ve returned to the cobbles at last!

I hadn’t been in the show since the end of February, so I’ve had five months out of work. Sometimes it was fine, other times I was going nuts. I had 12 weeks where I didn’t see anyone at all because I live alone. As you know, I don’t stop talking, and the conversations with myself became incredibly in-depth. I actually spoke to my stomach one day when it grumbled. I was like, ‘All right, I’ll feed you in a minute!’

How did you manage your time?
