Waterloo Road viewers rejoice at Kim and Andrew reunion

Waterloo Road fans were delighted to see Angela Griffin and Jamie Glover reunited on screen in the BBC school drama.

The pair play Head Teacher Kim Campbell and former Head Teacher Andrew Treneman in the TV show whose relationship ended after series four when Andrew broke Kim's heart by leaving to work in a school in Rwanda.

The latest episode of the series - which has been revived for a 12th series after an eight year hiatus - saw Andrew make a surprise return to the school to help with a new knife crime initiative.
