Richard Fleeshman not returning

(BANG) - Richard Fleeshman won't return to 'Coronation Street'.

The 19-year-old actor- who played troubled teenager Craig Harris and until he left in 2006 to pursue a music career - has confessed he doesn't want to return to the ITV show anytime soon.

He said: "I certainly don't have any bad feelings about it. I had three or four fun years there.

"It's been a long time now since I've left but I wouldn't return right now, it's probably not right the way things are going; it's quite tight at the moment."

Richard is currently touring the country with Sir Elton John and admits he hasn't really watched the soap since his departure.

He added to BANG Showbiz: "I find it's on too much I can never catch up. If I'm in at 7.30 then I'll definitely try to catch it to see what's going on.

"But I usually find out from the cast anyway, they'll call me and say: 'Oh mate I was just filming this ridiculous scene!' I'm really busy at the moment so that's how I know what's going on." (C) BANG Media International
