The 35-year-old star's last scenes as Fiz Stape aired in December, after she had gone on maternity leave to have her second child, Hilda - who arrived in October - and the cobbles favourite returned to Weatherfield on Monday (01.07.19), where she enjoyed a "lovely day" of filming.

Sharing a picture of herself and her on-screen family, including Alan Halsall (Tyrone Dobbs) and Maureen Lipman (Evelyn Plummer), she wrote on Instagram: "Posh tea in the bistro for our homecoming. What a lovely day"

A post on the 'Coronation Street' Instagram account shared the same picture to welcome back Jennie and Isabella Flanagan, who plays Fiz's daughter Hope Stape.

The caption read: "Look who's back in Weatherfield! ⠀

Welcome home @jenniemcalpine and Isabella! (sic)"

Last week, Jennie admitted she had started learning lines again ahead of her cobbles comeback, and is hoping it will be "just like riding a bike".

Sharing a picture of her 'Corrie' scripts, she wrote on Instagram: "Friday night reading Hoping it's just like riding a bike #itsbeenawhile (sic)"

The star - who also has four-year-old son Albert with husband Chris Farr - was inundated with numerous messages, including one from her on-screen partner Alan Halsall (Tyrone Dobbs).

He shared celebration and heart emojis in response to her message.

And Andy Whyment, who plays Fiz's ex Kirk Sutherland, wrote: "Looking forward to having you back"
