Coronation Street’s Ellie Leach has reunited with her former co-star Helen Flanagan at her new theatre show.
Leach is currently starring as Miss Scarlett in the UK tour of Cluedo 2, replacing Flanagan, who pulled out due to medical reasons.
Now, Flanagan, who played Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, has been to see the murder mystery show, and reunited with her fellow Corrie star.
She posted some cute snaps of the pair backstage on her Instagram page, and captioned the pictures: "Miss Scarlett @ellielouiseleach, you were unreal. The show was amazing @cluedostageplay, must see."

This week, Flanagan opened up about her recent mental health struggles on her social media, explaining the reason why she had to drop out of the theatre production.
"Sadly I just wasn’t mentally well enough to do it," she said. "I was heartbroken as I’ve always been professional as an actress but I needed to stay home and feel better for me and my kids."
She went on to say: "I feel in a really good, happy place now… therapy can be amazing and I feel like I’ve worked on myself with things that were quite tough to me but I feel lighter now."
The run of Cluedo 2, which also stars former Casualty actor Jason Durr, has recently been extended, with new autumn dates announced until November.
Leach, who played Faye Windass in Corrie, is also involved in upcoming ITVBe reality series Drama Queens, which follows both the professional and personal lives of a group of soap actresses.

Leach will take part in the series alongside her real-life cousin Brooke Vincent, who played Sophie Webster in the soap, as well as Lucy Fallon, who has recently reprised her role as Bethany Platt.
