ITV Coronation Street fans realise Leo's celebrity lookalike as they work out his fate after Stephen discovery

Coronation Street fans admitted to doing a 'double take' when the saw an image of Leo Thompkins taken from latest scenes. The character, played by Joe Frost, was back on screen as the ITV soap aired last night (September 20).

A panicked David Platt drafted him in as he feared the sinkhole in his back garden was opening up again. The barber ushered his family out of Number 8 while he got Leo to take a look. Over at the salon, Leo told David, his wife Shona, Audrey Roberts and Stephen Reid that while he thinks there's no issue, he can't be sure until he's got someone to take a closer look.

He advised that it was probably best they stay out of the house until they know for sure and with Stephen having already booked Audrey and Gail Platt off on a spa day, the struggling businessman encourages his mother to still go. Audrey then offered for David and co to stay at her house on Grasmere Drive but Stephen instantly appeared annoyed.

Leo watched on as Stephen claimed there weren't enough beds before David piped up and suggested he book into a swanky hotel for a night after splashing his non-existent cash on the spa day for his mum and sister. Knowing he was looking suspicious, Stephen caved but later, Leo spotted him approaching the house.

Stopping in his tracks, Leo questioned what he was up to and Stephen lied, saying he was checking that it was all locked up. Leo's interference caused Stephen to have to go away but it was later confirmed he was lying about finding a hotel for the night. He was seen getting undressed by the side of his car before getting into the vehicle as he bedded down for the night.
