Former Corrie costars Rob Mallard and Katie McGlynn have been reunited away from the ITV soap
A beloved Coronation Street couple have been seen reuniting in real life, seven years after they were involved in some of the Salford-filmed show’s most heartbreaking scenes.
Rob Mallard, from Oldham, and Rochald-born Katie McGlynn won high praise for their roles as newlyweds and new parents Daniel and Sinead Osbourne, who were torn apart by Sinead’s cervical cancer diagnosis, which she only discovered once falling pregnant with the couple’s son, Bertie.
Bertie was born on-screen back in January 2019, as he was induced at six months in order to allow Sinead to be treated with radiotherapy as soon as possible.

Later, Sinead discovered her cancer had returned and set about hosting an early first birthday party for Bertie so that she could be around for the milestone. However, the event was ruined when Sinead received news that her cancer hadn’t responded to chemotherapy and she only had weeks left to live.
Fans of the ITV soap will then recall that in heartbreaking scenes, just weeks after they said ‘I do,’ Sinead died at the home they shared with their baby boy Bertie in October 2019.
Almost seven years after their on-screen relationship was devastatingly pulled apart, Katie and Rob, who have remained friends beyond the cobbles, have been seen reuniting.
Taking to Instagram, Katie shared a few selfies of the pair. In one, the soap stars could be seen beaming for the camera, while in another, Rob could be seen planting a kiss on Katie’s head. “Sinead and Daniel reunited… I’ve missed my onscreen hubby,” Katie gushed in the caption of the post.
She added: “So good to finally catch up @rob.mallard #reunion #corrie #backtogether #twopeasinapod.” And fans were quick to respond.
