But even after 42 years of playing Kevin Webster in Coronation Street, he knows there is no room for complacency.Michael, 61, says: “You can never take the job for granted.

“My contract was due in January and I've just been offered a new one, so I can breathe a sigh of relief for another year.

“But you can never look beyond that. They might say, ‘You know what, we can't write for you, we don't know what to write for you any more. Thank you and goodbye'.

After battling testicular cancer and losing his wife Abi to his brother Carl, gossip is rife that Kevin could be set for a romantic reunion with former wife Sally (Sally Dynevor).
