Ex-Coronation Street star Bruno Langley has admitted two counts of sexual assault.

Manchester Magistrates Court heard Langley, 34, was drunk and in the Band on the Wall music venue in Manchester in the early hours of October 1 when he grabbed a woman by the crotch and touched a second victim on her boobs and bum''

The actor who left the ITV soap in the wake of the allegations after playing Todd Grimshaw for more than a decade, the soap's first openly gay character, stood in the dock and pleaded guilty.

He also sexually touched two other women on the same night, but was not charged with offences concerning those women, Karen Saffman, prosecuting, told the court.

Langley, whose family members wiped back tears after his guilty pleas were entered, was told he could face a possible jail sentence.

But district judge Mark Hadfield asked for a probation report to be prepared on Tuesday before he decides whether he will sentence Langley or whether the case needs to be sent to Manchester Crown Court where the defendant could face a longer sentence
