Coronation Street duo Steven Arnold and Julia Haworth staged an 11-year reunion on Loose Women this week.

Zooming in from their homes, the former Ashley and Claire Peacock performers waxed lyrical about their final moments together during the 2010 tram tragedy.

Soap enthusiasts may recall Ashley being crushed to death in the wreckage, whilst Claire and their two sons were smuggled out of Weatherfield a year later.

"Our final scene together... obviously the viewers had no idea what was to come but we did," the noted Julia. "But that scene was so hard to film, wasn't it Stevie?"

He replied: "It really was. We were basically saying goodbye to one another as we were doing it. That's how it felt. I couldn't have picked a better person to work with than Julia."

"Aw Stevie, I feel the same," Julia interjected. "You know that."

You guyyyyyssss!

Further along their stint on the ITV panel show, Steve revealed that he pleaded with Corrie bosses to kill his character off upon learning they were getting rid of Ashley.

"When I went upstairs to see Phil Collinson [former Corrie producer] about it, he said: 'We're shutting down the character.' I said: 'Fair enough, but please, please, tell me you're killing me off?'

"Because I wanted to go and like turn the page and start a new chapter so there's never that thing in my mind saying, 'Am I going to go back, am I not?'"

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm.
