She replied: "Without doubt! Much love."
When another fan replied to Beverley saying: "We need Bruno back at Coronation Street. He is so loved by so many," the Tom Chambers account replied: "He's a good friend of mine. If he can't get back to Corrie I'm going to try and get him a part in Casualty alongside me. No one would bother him there."
