ITV Coronation Street's Billy Mayhew and Shona Platt stars are 'friendship goals' as they delight fans with snap

They may not share the screen together very often but fans have been left delighted to see Daniel Brocklebank and Julie Goulding spending time together off-screen.

Coronation Street viewers will know the pair for playing Billy Mayhew and Shona Platt in the ITV soap.

Julia has recently spent more time on-screen, as her step-son Max Turner gets himself into all sorts of trouble on the cobbles.

Meanwhile, Daniel hasn't been seen as vicar Billy for a little while but did confirm last month that he was back filming at the Salford-based set.

But outside of work, the pair have been enjoying the fresh outdoors and shared a snap to prove it.

Dan took to Instagram with a picture of the pair smiling with their sunglasses on next to a canal.

"@julia_goulding & I do friendship & socialising very well," the soap star captioned the image to his thousands of followers.

And fans were soon commenting.

@greeneyedladnz said: "Gorgeous photo of you two."

"Friendship goals right there. Your smiles speak volumes! Magical and priceless," @ eve.rosenthal commented.

@cjmatthews18 wrote: "Lovely photo of lovely people."

"Gorgeous photo of 2 gorgeous people," mel_cal_grilz added.

Others were quick to point out that the weather looks glorious in comparison to the back-to-back stoms the country has faced in recent days.

And it's not the first time Julia and Dan have delighted fans with their off-screen antics.

Last summer the pair were joined by their Corrie co-stars Gareth Pierce, Sue Cleaver and Tony Maudsley for a camping trip.

The group pitched up tents for a summer staycation with Gareth, who plays Todd Grimshaw in the ITV soap, sharing some of their holiday snaps and commenting: "Camping with the Corrie famalamadingdong."
