Le Vell has returned to Manchester Crown Court for the second day of his child sex trial.

As Coronation street's Michael Le Vell's Alleged Victim took to the witness box, she told the court she wanted to "to tell my truth".

His alleged victim, a teenage girl, gave evidence on Monday accusing the actor of raping her as she clutched her teddy bear.

Today, she has been back in the witness box and repeatedly broke down during cross-examined by Le Vell's barrister, Alisdair Williamson.

Her identity cannot be made public and she is giving evidence behind a curtain, screening her from the public gallery.

Le Vell, who plays car mechanic Kevin Webster in the ITV soap, denies the offences.

His charges include five counts of rape, three of indecent assault, two counts of sexual activity with a child, and two of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.

As the girl gave evidence on Monday, the 48-year-old actor leaned forward in his seat, grimacing, closing his eyes and repeatedly shaking his head.

She told the court when asked about the alleged abuse: "I was very scared because it didn't feel right. It felt like I wasn't in my body at the time and I was just watching it."

Asked why she did not tell anyone of the abuse, she replied: "Because he told me not to. It was our little secret."
