In upcoming scenes, John Thomson is reprising his role as children’s entertainer Jesse Chadwick, who was last seen in 2010.

In 2011, a year after leaving, John took to Twitter and slammed former co-star Antony Cotton as a “nasty piece of work”.

At the time, Antony who plays Sean Tully, had been competing in hit ITV show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

According to Digital Spy, Cold Feet star John wrote: “Antony Cotton – the truth will out.

“Antony you nasty piece of work you are doing yourself no favours.”

When asked by another user how Antony had been to work with, the actor reportedly added: “Trouble with a capital T.”

Antony, 49, has portrayed Sean since 2003 and is part of the cast to this day.

On Sunday, The Sun exclusively revealed John’s return to Corrie as a late addition to Gail Platt’s exit storyline.

It comes as the previously announced return of Sean Wilson as Martin Platt has now been axed.

Although Jesse dated Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) in his first stint, reports suggest he will now be in a romantic storyline with Gail.

A source said: “They wanted a recognisable name and plumped for John as his character was popular with viewers and a real blast from the past.”

They added: “Obviously his character, Jesse, had a doomed fling with Eileen, so they thought having him come back onto the cobbles and flirt with Eileen’s frenemy would be both funny and a fantastic final fling.

“Of course it would also leave the door open for Gail’s return one day should she ever fancy a special cameo.”

John previously swore he ‘wouldn’t return’ to Corrie following his departure.

Speaking to Metro, he said: “I’ve been fortunate. I’ve had a varied career and like popping in and out of things. I was in it for ten months and felt I’d run my course.”

He continued: “I don’t want to be known as Jesse Chadwick, children’s entertainer, for the rest of my life.

“My time in there was probably about right.”

John’s other work includes beloved sketch programme The Fast Show, starring as various characters.

What circumstances will bring Jesse Chadwick back to Weatherfield after all this time?
