Chilean girlfriend pulls Le Vell 'back from the brink'; 'Corrie' bosses reassure actor

Michael Le Vell has been saved "from the brink" by his new girlfriend.

The 'Coronation Street' star - who plays mechanic Kevin Webster on the ITV soap - was suspended from the show earlier this year after being accused of 19 child sex offences, all of which he strenuously denies, and was reported to be suffering due to the stress of the ordeal.
