Coronation Street’s Jack P. Shepherd and Melanie Hill keep 2m apart from fans as they take socially-distanced snaps with them on the way to work
They resumed filming on the soap in June, after production came to a halt amid the coronavirus crisis.
And Coronation Street stars Jack P. Shepherd and Melanie Hill were seen taking socially distanced photos with fans outside Media City, Manchester, on Friday.
The actor, 32, and Cathy Matthews star, 58, made sure they kept a 2m distance from the fans, who took photos for one another rather than ask the acting pair to touch their phones.

Jack kept things casual for his outing as he teamed a black button-up shirt with matching jeans and Converse canvas shoes.
He smiled brightly as he posed for the photo with his hands on his hips, before Melanie also took a photo with the fans.
The actress looked striking in a loose-fitting colourful print top and denim jeans, while she completed the look by stepping out in pink trainers.
Melanie shielded her eyes with a pair of chic shades and she wore her auburn locks in a sleek, straight style for the occasion.

Earlier this month, their Corrie co-star Kate Ford has pleaded with fans to stop taking pictures of her without asking.
Taking to Twitter the actress, 43, insisted she’ll ‘always oblige’ when asked to pose for a photo with a fan, but doesn’t enjoy having snaps or videos taken of her without permission.
Kate has appeared on Coronation Street as the scheming Tracy Barlow on and off since 2002, and left the soap in 2007 before returning again in 2010.
In her tweet Kate penned: ‘Please please can people ask to take a photo or video of me please, I find it so difficult to cope with when people do this without asking. I always oblige when asked x.’

Kate has long been known as one of Corrie’s most well-known love/hate figures, with many of her exploits also centring around her on/off relationship with Steve McDonald.
In response to Kate’s plea, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Baga Chipz recalled a time when they once met on the London Underground.
She tweeted: ‘We met on the tube the once! I had to come over and ask! As I’m a huge fan. I get people whispering and taking pics now.. If anyone asks I always say yes. (sic)’
Kate responded: ‘was lovely to meet you’.
