DENISE Welch has taken fans back to the cobbles with an incredible throwback picture of the 2000 cast.
The former Loose Women thrilled her Corrie pals with the nostalgic pic.
She shared the snap on Twitter with the caption: "The @itvCorrie cast of 2000!!! #WistfulWednesday."
The cast picture includes Corrie legends such as Gail (Helen Worth), Roy (David Neilson), and Audrey (Sue Nicholls) along with cast members who have sadly passed away since 2000.
Jane Danson - who portrays Leanne Battersby in the soap - tweeted: "Happy days!"
Former Nick Tilsley actor Adam Rickitt responded: "OM...F'ING...G!!! Time sucks."
Denise made her Coronation Street debut in 1997 and held down the role of Natalie until 2000.
Upon arriving on the cobbles, Natalie took over the running of the garage, and soon began an affair with mechanic Kevin Webster.
Natalie manages to persuade Kevin to leave wife Sally for her, but it wasn't long until the car fanatic returned to his family.
Denise recently made headlines after revealing her battle with food addiction and binge eating after beating alcoholism.
She told the : "I had periods where I was much slimmer but all of the periods in life, in the last 20 years when I was slim without trying, it was the bad time in life.
"I had problems with alcohol and it was when I took alcohol out of my life six years ago that I started to replace alcohol with food."
The actress continued: "I wasn't aware I was doing it at the time, it was a slow burn."
Denise - who married husband Lincoln Townley in 2013 - says cutting out booze caused her to develop an unexpected sweet tooth - which then led to weight gain.
She added: "Your body starts to crave sugar, people have this idea that you cut out alcohol and you lose weight, but it's mostly not the case because your body craves sugar so much.

"I never had a sweet tooth in my life, I'm from a confectionery family so I've been around cakes all my life and never had a sweet tooth and suddenly I did and Lincoln was the same.
"We both gave up alcohol and we both ate all the pies, I still do enjoy a pie but I make an informed decision when to have one.
"What was happening was I was replacing alcohol addiction with food addiction and realised that because I was eating in a destructive way, it wasn't healthy."
