Rob, who has always been open about his sexuality, admitted recently that he was concerned ‘Corrie’ bosses would match him up with a female character in the soap.

“I never planned to keep it quiet that I was gay,” he said.

“The only concern I had at first was if I’m with a female character, will an audience who knows I’m gay in real life believe it? But that was just my own fears because I do believe they will.”

Daniel has played Corrie’s gay vicar Billy Mayhew since 2004, and appeared on Channel 4’s ‘Celebrity First Dates’; last year in a bid to find romance.

However, despite telling his date that he was on TV “six times a week”, he failed to recognise him.
