A spokesman for the soap confirmed: “Bruno Langley is no longer contracted to Coronation Street.”

Allegations of inappropriate behaviour were made by a woman in her 30s who was at a Manchester nightclub called Band on the Wall.

The actor, who denies her claims, is understood to have been among cast members there who had gone to see ex-Corrie colleague Craig Charles perform a DJ set.

Bruno said last night: “I’d like to thank all of my friends who work on the show for their love, friendship and support during this extremely difficult period.”
