Fans were left shocked over Christmas when the vicar survived a terrifying fall off a cliff.

But Billy Mayhew already appears to have bounced back on Coronation Street, as actor Daniel Brocklebank has been spotted back on set.

The actor, who has played the vicar since 2014, was seen shooting tense scenes on crutches with Richard Crehan, who plays his onscreen brother Joe, and laughing with his co-star between takes as he returned to the Cobbles after the near-fatal fall.

Full health: Billy Mayhew already appears to have bounced back after a near-fatal fall on Coronation Street, as actor Daniel Brocklebank has been spotted back on set

Clad in a casual blue padded jacket and jeans, Billy appeared to be back to his usual self and full health as he made his return to the Cobbles.

Clearly in pain however, the character was spotted with a pair of crutches on set - no doubt providing him support after his shocking and near-fatal fall.

After such a dramatic Christmas on the soap, it is believed the reverend now can't get any lower and tries to get money out of his conman brother Lee.

However, the junkie admits he has nothing to give him during their meeting - leaving a strained Billy to simply nurse his wounds, before hobbling away on his crutches.

Despite the tense scene, the two actors were then seen laughing and joking between takes - proving their close relationship as co-stars.

The scenes appear to show the character bouncing back on the soap, after falling off a cliff during the Christmas special, following a night locked in Peter Barlow's car boot.

However fans were left in shock when the vicar survived and was rushed to hospital - despite appearing to fall hundreds of feet.

Peter had kidnapped Billy as an act of revenge, after he admitted his involvement in the murder of his twin sister Susan Barlow.

The accident only adds to a tough time for Billy on the soap, whose adopted daughter Summer was taken from him by boyfriend Todd Grimshaw, played by Bruno Langley, last week.

Bruno's abrupt exit comes after he was axed from the soap, after pleading guilty to groping two women in November amid a police investigation into sexual assault.
