Emmerdale stars Matthew Wolfenden and Isabel Hodgins have returned to work following their suspension from the show amid a race-related investigation.
The pair, who play David and Victoria on the soap, were accused of mocking the accent of an unnamed fellow actress, who is mixed race, although they have claimed that their conversation was misheard.
The event is said to have led to Aaron Anthony quitting his role as Ellis after being left "bitterly angry" by what happened.
Wolfenden and Hodgins have been absent from the set since September but according to The Sun, they are now back filming again.
"ITV have conducted a rigorous enquiry into the allegations made, with witness statements taken. Bosses accepted Matthew and Isabel's explanation and agreed they can return to work," a source told the newspaper.
"However, it has been made very clear that racism and bullying will not be tolerated by ITV. They have also offered the subject of their alleged remarks guidance about how to deal with the pair's return."
David and Victoria are likely to be seen back on screen in episodes airing in March or April. body check tags ::
