Coronation Street's Jane Danson heads to gig with famous husband

Coronation Street's Leanne Battersby actress Jane Danson had a great time as she stepped out to a concert with her husband this weekend.

And while many soap fans have seen Jane on our screens for decades, some may be surprised to learn she is married to an actor viewers will probably recognise. The 44-year-old is married to actor Robert Beck, who has appeared in a number of TV drama series.

The couple got hitched in 2005 after meeting at the first Soaps Awards in 1999. They have two children together, Harry, 21, and 14-year-old Sam.

Robert currently stars as Len Reid in ITV's The Bay, and back in 2021 he played Fergus Collins in Hollyoaks. His character 's reign of terror came to a grisly end when Fergus was struck over the back of the head with a Champagne bottle by Trish (Loose Women's Denise Welch).

Robert, 55, also starred in Coronation Street from 2008 to 2009 as Jimmy Dockerson, a mechanic and henchman of Tony Gordon, sabotaging the clients of Kevin Webster. The actor has also appeared in Brookside, Emmerdale, Doctors and Waterloo Road.

Sharing a cute snap of herself with Robert on Instagram, Jane said: "What a brilliant night seeing @darrenhayes . It was so special for us to see him live as his music played a huge part in our wedding.

"Obviously cried like a baby when I heard ‘Truly, madly, deeply’ what a voice, what a show! I want to go again!!"

Fellow Corrie star Georgia Taylor, who plays Toyah Habeeb, said: "Cuties" while the update has also been liked by Maria Connor star Samia Longchambon and Amy Barlow actress Elle Mulvaney.
