Coronation Street fans gush over 'adorable' pair as soap stars party

Summer Spellman has had a terrible time of late with the troubled teen suffering ill health and falling into a diabetic coma.

Thankfully, Summer actress Harriet Bibby is having a much happier time at the moment. She was seen cosying up to newcomer James Craven, who plays Summer's new friend Aaron, this weekend.

Summer and Aaron met at a diabetes support group and quickly exchanged numbers while waiting for the session to start. Summer's adoptive dad Billy was pleased to see her making friends at the group.

In real life, the stars glammed up to attend the long-running soap's belated Christmas bash over the weekend. The Corrie cast took a break from the drama in Weatherfield to party the night away at a glitzy get-together in Manchester's Science and Industry Museum.

Harriet shared a snap of herself and James at the event, poking fun at their height difference. Harriet wore a strapless red dress with matching nails and lipstick while James wore a crisp white shirt and grey trousers.

Captioning the photo, Harriet said: "In heels and we’re still little and large". Amy Barlow actress Elle Mulvaney commented: "Cuties" to which Harriet simply replied with a red heart emoji.

Carrying on the height joke, James said: "Shhhh I’m just closer to the camera… it’s all a trick", to which Harriet said: "We'll go with that [clapping hands emoji]. James also shared the post to his own Instagram story with the caption "cool kidz" [sic].

Fans were loving the snap, with many rushing to the comments section to voice their opinions. Carla Mendonça said: "So gorgeous" while Cruz Beau said: "Aww love this picture, you both look absolutely perfect."

Siobhan said: "This photo is adorable, couple goals." Cameron said: "Wow that is a brilliant, amazing and a really fantastic pic of you and James Craven there Harriet! You both look absolutely fantastic."

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
