Michael Le Vell has been spotted on the ‘Coronation Street’ set, though instead of starring as mechanic Kevin Webster, it is thought that Michael is actually directing an episode.
The actor made a brief return to the soap following a prolonged absence in 2013, returning for just 6 weeks before leaving again, and now he’s easing himself back into working life.

Michael recently returned to work after a stint in rehab, where he was reportedly receiving help for alcohol abuse issues.
