There was uproar amongst fans when Ken left the cobbles earlier this year.

Ken left Tracy and her husband Steve to live him his iconic house on Coronation Street while he moved away.

But while Claudia loves the glamorous location of Stillwaters, Ken has never really settled in.

Not only has he clashed with fellow resident Charles, he also got himself in trouble when he tried to sneak in his dog, Eccles.

Despite Stillwaters’ strict no pets policy, Ken couldn’t bear to be parted from his canine friend.
