Coronation Street fans were pretty pleased this week as three of its stars paused filming for a lovely set selfie.
Daniel Brocklebank, who is best known to viewers for playing Billy Mayhew in the ITV soap, shared the snap alongside Harriet Bibby and Gareth Pierce to his Instagram page.
The actor has been back sharing photos from behind-the-scenes on the cobbles after returning to filming after months away earlier in February.

At the time Dan, who joined Corrie as Billy in 2014, took to Instagram to post a pic of himself ready to film in his character's clerical collar with the 42-year-old soap star commenting: "First time in work since November," before adding that he was 'excited' to be back.
Coincidentally, he appeared to return at the same time as his former on-screen partner, Gareth, who plays the soap's Todd Grimshaw.
And now the pair have delighted fans by hinting that they're back sharing scenes together alongside Harriet, who plays Summer Spellman.
Dan grinned from ear-to-ear for the selfie, as did Harriet who was pointing at her two co-stars with a cheesy grin. But the same couldn't be said for Gareth.
"@garpierce is obviously thrilled to be working with @harrietanneb & I… @coronationstreet," Dan wrote alongside the snap as Gareth pulled a rather concerning face.
But it was clearly in jest as Gareth, who took over the role of Todd in 2020, commented: "Ah, go on then… If I have to…" with an added love heart eyes emoji.
And Corrie fans were also soon commenting on the post. @brownlorna964 said: "Great photo of the 3 of you.Love you all in Corrie."
"Love this trio!" @rachelannesmalley commented. @rebeccahay03 shared: "Love watching you 3 on Coronation Street can’t wait to see you back on our screens soon."
"Yesss we need use in scenes together again!!!" @xx_tv_shows_xx wrote.
@kimmibranson added: "Yes!!! Love their little family."
But some of the soap's fans took it a bit further. @juliewho5 said: "Can you just get married please! We need a Corrie wedding."
"Go on billy you know you love todd," @ marshalllindley68 shared.
As Corrie viewers know Billy and Todd were close - yet so far - away from walking down the aisle last year after Todd returned to the cobbles. But that was until Todd's scheming to get Billy's then-boyfriend Paul Winter out the picture was revealed to Billy and his neighbours.
It comes after fans were celebrating a reunion on the famous cobbles with Gareth Pierce posteing new snaps with co-star Tony Maudsley.
The pair play comical undertaker duo with Tony as George Shuttleworth, and it's been a while since the pair have had scenes together on the soap.
