Michael Le Vell was seen on the set of Coronation Street for the first time on Monday afternoon after being acquitted of sexual offences against a minor.
The 48-year-old Corrie actor was pictured receiving a warm welcome from co-stars including his on-screen wife Sally Webster, played by Sally Dynevor and was embraced by Ben Price (Nick Tilsey).
A source has told The Sun: 'Everyone looked delighted to see him - a few gave him a kiss and cuddles. It looks like they can't wait for his return'.
Disappeared: Michael Le Vell has been off the Coronation Street set following sexual allegations last February

On set: Michael Le Vell re-united with Corrie co-stars for the first time after being cleared of sex offences this month
The star has played the loveable garage mechanic on the ITV Manchester based soap for 30 years.
Michael Le Vell was suspended from the show when he was charged with five counts of rape, three of indecent assault, two counts of sexual activity with a child and two of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
The Coronation street star walked free from Manchester crown court earlier this month as all the allegations were dropped.
ITV bosses have shut down rumours Michael will be making his return just in time for an explosive Coronation Street Christmas Storyline.
A Corrie representative revealed to PA that Kevin Webster won't be seen on TV until next year as their Xmas storylines have already been planned.
After his acquittal, a spokeswoman for the soap said: 'We are looking forward to meeting with Michael to discuss his return to the programme.'
Fans of the actor may be seeing him on TV earlier than 2014 as it is being speculated he is set to appear on Piers Morgan's Life Stories.
I'm A Celebrity executives have offered Michael a whooping £500,000 place on Get Me Out Of if he stays off booze for two weeks.
