Coronation Street star Chris Gascoyne's wife joins him on set after landing role

Coronation Street star Chris Gascoyne is welcoming his wife onto the cobbles.

The actor, who plays Peter Barlow in the ITV soap, was spotted leaving the studio with his wife Caroline Harding after she landed a role alongside him.

The couple, who have been married since 2002, were pictured after shooting scenes on the Weatherfield set in Manchester.

Caroline has appeared in rival soap Emmerdale a number of times, playing four different characters, but now she's landed a Corrie role.

She'll be appearing as a doctor.

But it's not the first time she's been seen around Weatherfield.

She appeared in two episodes back in 2015 as the doctor who diagnosed Hope Stape's cancer.

Not much is known about what her storyline will be this time around, but as she was seen on the set on the same day as her husband, fans will be hopeful that they have some scenes together.

It's thought her storyline could be connected to Leanne Battersby's.

Her son Oliver, who she shares with Steve McDonald, was recently diagnosed with an incurable genetic illness.

Caroline, who shares three children with Chris, was pictured leaving the set in a yellow maxi dress and Converse trainers, and with an ITV pass dangling around her neck.

She carried a backpack and another bag over her shoulder and kept a pair of sunglasses on top of her head, with her red hair partly tied up as she battled against the heatwave.

Chris, 52, wore a denim shirt and green combat trousers, as well as a baseball cap.

The star also had a bag slung over his shoulder as he headed home from a long day of filming.

Some of the cast recently returned to the cobbles now that it's safe to film again amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Cast members are maintaining social-distancing while continuing work on the soap, which was cut down to three episodes a week after filming was suspended in a bid to keep it on the air.

* Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV
