A former Corrie actor who was dismissed for sexual misconduct has found himself in the middle of yet more controversy

Bruno Langley was fired from his role as Todd Grimshaw on Coronation Street in 2017 after being charged with groping two women while out clubbing and reportedly pestering a 15-year-old girl for sex.

And now he’s moved in with a married mum of one, whose businessman husband was put behind bars for fraud just months ago.

According to The Sun, Bruno has known university student Lucy France since 2015, but they’ve now gone official with their relationship just months after her husband Jonathon France was put away for 10 years over a £6m fraud charge.

“You’d have thought Bruno would want to stay away from controversy after his career was cut short, a source told the paper.

“But now he’s got himself caught up in a love tryst between a gorgeous blonde and her dodgy-dealing husband.

“They’re not even trying to keep it quiet. Lucy has shared pictures of them together on social media.

“Jonathan had barely been in prison two minutes when the pair decided to shack up and make it official.”

Reports state that Lucy has moved out of the mansion she shared with her husband into rented accommodation with Bruno, and the couple have been photographed leaving their new home together.

In December 2017, Bruno admitted to sexual misconduct, giving a tearful apology to the Sunday Mirror after his contract with Corrie was terminated.

"I have no excuse, no one forced me to drink to such an extreme, but it is hard to explain why I would do anything as dreadful as that,” he said at the time.

"It must have been awful for those women, and I am ashamed of myself. I’m truly sorry.

“I sincerely apologise to the women, from the bottom of my heart. I promise I will never do anything like that again."
