It comes after the actor recently headed home after enjoying a sun-soaked break following ‘harrowing’ time on the cobbles
Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank has been flooded with messages from fans as he was seen with ‘his boy’ following his return to the UK. The actor recently headed home after enjoying a sun-soaked break following what he said was a ‘harrowing’ time on the cobbles.
Daniel, who plays Billy Mayhew in the ITV soap, headed off to the Caribbean late last month for what fans said was a ‘well deserved’ holiday after his involvement in Corrie’s Motor Neurone Disease storyline alongside Paul Foreman co-star Peter Ash.
As fans of the long-running show know, Billy heartbreakingly missed the chance to say goodbye to Paul as he died in tragic scenes, 17 months after he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND), the life-limiting illness for which there is yet no cure.
And as the aftermath of the heartbreaking scenes played out on-screen, Daniel, who has played Billy for almost a decade, decided to head off for some rest and relaxation following the emotionally exhausting period on the show.
He has, however, since been seen back in the UK and reunited with his Corrie co-stars as they swept up the awards at the recent 2024 Inside Soap Awards, during which he and Peter picked up the award for ‘Best Partnership’ as well as ‘Best Storyline’.
But it was his latest update that caught the attention of Daniel’s fans. Taking to Instagram, the soap star posted a picture of himself and one of his beloved pet pooches, Colin.
Daniel leaned in towards the chair that the dachshund was settled and looked towards the camera with a smile. Captioning the post, he gushed: “My boy Colin [red heart emoji]. He really is the goodest of boys.”
And his fans quickly commented on the post. Corrie co-star Sally Carman-Duttine replied: “Superb,” with a crying face emoji and yellow love heart. @serenahamptonn commented: “Colin is an absolute babe! Just look at that pose.” @chezspooner2022 said: “So cute and can I say what an amazing actor you are so fantastic.”
