Former Coronation Street actor Bruno Langley has pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault following an incident at a music venue in Manchester last month.

Manchester Magistrates Court heard he admitted grabbing a woman by the crotch and touching a second victim on her "boobs and bum".

Langley, who's 34, was drunk and in the Band on the Wall music venue in Manchester in the early hours of 1st October when he touched the women.

The actor left the ITV soap in the wake of the allegations after playing Todd Grimshaw for more than a decade.

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

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.

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.
