Who is the mystery man with Izzy Armstrong in Coronation Street?
Toby Hadoke has joined the Coronation Street cast (Pictures: ITV)  Coronation Street favourite Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) will make a more permanent return to screens tonight as a new storyline kicks off for her. It was confirmed that Izzys storyline will shine a light on the difficulty millions of disabled people have experienced during the pandemic. Tonight, the pressure of working remotely and shielding will get to Izzy as Carla (Alison King) and Sarah (Tina OBrien) push her to complete a deadline. A couple of times during video call scenes, Sarah and Carla will spot a new face. While Carla will seemingly assume Izzys poor work is down to her actually spending time with her new man, Sarah wont exactly agree. Despite the assumptions from Carla, Izzys friend is in fact a concerned neighbour called Fergus, who will regularly remind Izzy and her bosses that health needs to come before work. Fergus is played by Toby Hadoke, who also happens to be Cherylees husband, which means Izzy and Fergus can film without the two-metre rule in place. Izzy and Fergus scenes have all been filmed by Cherylee and Toby in their Manchester home. Discussing her return to Corrie and the importance of this storyline, Cherylee said: I have been unbelievably fortunate that my employers enabled me to continue shielding after the official shielding guidance ended in March. Ive been so supported by ITV, but Im aware that many of my disabled peers who were previously shielding havent had that safety and have been forced to make the decision to earn money to survive whilst facing the real fear of death or serious illness through Covid.  Coronation Street Producer Iain MacLeod added: We had to think outside the box in order to tell this story, devising new protocols and ways of scripting scenes that would allow Cherylee to film the scenes herself in her home. It certainly helped that her partner Toby is a fabulous actor! Despite all the technical challenges we had to overcome, this was a story that needed telling and I hope it will resonate with millions of people who have found themselves in a similar position to Izzy, and perhaps open the eyes of millions of others who had little awareness of the issues facing disabled people during COVID.
