Coronation Street's Antony Cotton may not have expected to protect Nicole Scherzinger as he took part in a special event over the weekend. The actor, best known for playing Sean Tully in the ITV soap, was among the famous faces joining the Platinum Pageant on Sunday (June 5) to mark the Queen's jubilee.
The soap star joined former Pussycat Doll Nicole, This Morning's Holly Willoughby and BBC Radio 2 host and Nicole's former mentee Rylan Clark on an open-top bus for the 'Times of Our Lives' segment of the procession.
Antony, who has been celebrating being awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours, hopped aboard the bus, soaking up the jubilant atmosphere in the capital as they travelled from Whitehall, before proceeding up The Mall and finishing outside Buckingham Palace.
