Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd was quick to gush over his co-stars as he found himself missing out on the soap's summer bash. A whole host of the long-running ITV show's cast headed out in Manchester on Tuesday night (July 11).
Corrie legend Bill Roache, aka Ken Barlow, led the arrivals for the bash alongside Tina O'Brien as they headed to popular celebrity haunt The Ivy in Spinningfield for the mid-year celebrations.
Also joining in the fun was Corrie's newest recruits Claire Sweeney, who made her debut as Cassie Plummer earlier this month, and Stephanie Davis, who is set to appear on-screen in the soap for the first time next week as Courtney Vance.
