The stars of Coronation Street and Emmerdale aren't too famous to forget their loved ones as they treated them to a night at the theatre. The ITV soap actors were out in Salford on Wednesday night (March 16) as Disney classic Bedknobs and Broomsticks made its way to The Lowry amid its new musical debut.
The show, where three orphaned children are evacuated from wartime London to live with trainee witch Eglantine Price with no idea of the adventures that lie ahead, opened at the venue on Tuesday and is sticking around until Saturday (March 19).
Corrie star Samia Longchambon, who stars in the soap as Maria Windass, was among those heading to watch the magical new production alongside her husband Sylvain, who fans will likely know for being a professional skater on Dancing On Ice.
The pair, who met on the ITV skating competition in 2013 before walking down the aisle three years later, were joined on the red carpet by Samia's daughter Freya, from her previous marriage to property developer Matt Smith, and their son, Yves.
Taking to Instagram after the show, Eccles-born actress Samia took to Instagram to share the smiling family snap. "Perfect family night out... thanks for the nostalgia #bedknobsandbroomsticks."
Meanwhile, Millie Gibson, who plays Samia's on-screen lodger Kelly Neelan, rocked up to the theatre with her dad. The 17-year-old soap star shared about the father-daughter night on her Instagram page with the pair enjoyed some 'pre-theatre drinks' at the venue.
Millie looked stunning in a vibrant, royal blue dress with a chunky roll neck which she paired with a longline black blazer and buckled shoes. She also kept her blonde locks in soft mermaid waves and added a pop of red lipstick to her latest off-screen look.
Also bringing their family along was Emmerdale star Samantha Giles, best known for playing Bernice Blackstock in the Yorkshire-based ITV soap.
The 50-year-old actress beamed for a snap alongside her daughters Eve and Olivia, who she shares with her production manager husband, Sean Pritchard.
Also joining the press night party from the cast of Corrie was Rob Mallard, who plays Daniel Osbourne, and his former on-screen flame and the recently returned Kimberly Hart-Simpson (Nicky Wheatly), and the soap's mother and daughter pair Kel Allen (Laura Neelan) and Millie Gibson (Kelly Neelan).
Jack James Ryan, who returned to the soap as bad boy Jacob Hay earlier this year, also rocked up to the red carpet as did the soap's youngest stars including Sam Blakeman actor Jude Riordan ,Kyran Bowes, best known to viewers for playing Jack Webster, and twins Freddie and Isaac Rhodes who fans will recognise for sharing the role of Harry Platt.
Meanwhile, Emmerdale's Bradley Johnson (Vinny Dingle), also showed up to witness the musical magic with a mystery guest, as did Hollyoaks star Annie Wallace, who plays Sally St. Claire in the Channel 4 soap.
