Coronation Street's Alexandra Mardell's moving tribute on wedding day after tragic loss

Alexandra Mardell paid a moving tribute to her late dad as she tied the knot at a luxurious ceremony.

The former Coronation Street star married actor, Joe Parker, at the The Tithe Barn in North Yorkshire on March 19. The 29-year-old, renowned for her role as Emma Brooker on the Cobbles, has previously opened up on how her dad, Michael Mardell, died in 2016 from cardiomyopathy aged 54.

Emma told OK! Magazine how she made sure her dad was remembered on the day. She said: "We had a blanket made out of Dad’s shirts and set up on a chair throughout the ceremony. It felt like we had him with us."
