It was confirmed earlier this year that Stephanie Davis is reprising her role as feisty Sinead, three years after she was sensationally sacked from the show.

Although further details about the character Kyle will be playing are being kept under wraps for the time being, it was previously teased that Sinead would be heading back with a new love interest.
