Coronation Street?s Gabrielle Glaister is reportedly returning to the cobbles as Debs Brownlow after signing a ?big-money deal? to reprise her role on the ITV soap.

The cruise ship entertainer has previously returned to the cobbles, for a stint in 2000 which saw her ruthless character nick a man from sister Natalie, played by Denise Welch.

ITV producers are now said to have dubbed her return after 22 years off-screen ?TV gold?, the Daily Star reports.

An insider told the publication: ?Gabrielle was approached by Corrie execs earlier this year. After a series of top-secret meetings, she signed on the dotted line.

?Everyone is now really excited about Debs returning to Weatherfield. It?s going to be a brilliant blast from the past for fans.

All the ?juicy? details of Gabrielle's return will reportedly be revealed this week as she is said to have started filming her scenes for her comeback to Weatherfield, which will air this autumn.
