But before ITV fans get excited, Reece won’t be reprising his role – instead he’s taken a job from behind the camera.

Reece has directed tonight’s and Friday’s episodes.

Taking to his X account, he wrote: “Tonight’s episodes of Coronation Street (and both of Friday’s) are directed by yours truly. Loved every second of making them. Hope you enjoy, too!”

Reece confirmed that the episodes were filmed around six to eight weeks ago.

In the comment section, Reece admitted he “loves” being a director on the show as fans shared their excitement ahead of the installments.

In April, Reece revealed he was making a return to the beloved soap.

He revealed he recently directed four episodes that month.

Reece is no stranger to directing Coronation Street and has made eight episodes since 2022.

He has also directed 42 episodes of Emmerdale since 2020, and helmed episodes of shows such as Pitching In, Moving On, and Secrets and Words.
