Christmas on the cobbles may sound like a risk as we know how the festive season on soaps can go. But Coronation Street fans can enjoy this year's festivities on one of the country's most famous streets with a new set of official tours.
The ITV soap set reopened to public tours earlier this year after a two year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic. And there was delight among fans in the summer as tour bosses luanhced the very first 'Star Tours' which saw guests given the chance to meet members of the cast while exploring behind the scene's of the nation's most famous street.
Chris Gascoyne was one of those to make a special appearance. The actor, who has played Peter Barlow for more than 20 years, surprised fans as they took part in a special version of the 90 minute tour of the MediaCityUK set. The first off the sell-out limited edition tours saw the Corrie legend emerge through the doors of the TV police station to meet waiting fans. And Chris was greeted with delighted cheers and claps and cries of 'Peter.'
