Former Coronation Street star pleads guilty to sexually assaulting two women

Former Coronation Street actor Bruno Langley has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting two women.

The BBC have reported that Langley pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault during an appearance at Manchester Magistrates' Court. Last month, it was reported that a woman had come forward to say that the actor had acted "inappropriately" towards her in a Manchester nightclub. Days after, it was confirmed that the 34-year-old had left Coronation Street after 16 years. He appeared on the soap as Todd Grimshaw from 2001-2004, returning for guest stints and reprised the role full-time in 2013. An internal investigation was conducted by soap bosses in October of this year and at the time, the below statement was released:

“Bruno Langley is no longer contracted to Coronation Street.”
