Katie McGlynn channels Netflix drama Emily in Paris as she's reunited with screen husband in Salford

Katie McGlynn was just a stone's throw away from Weatherfield as she headed for a night at the theatre in Salford.

However she was channelling Parisian chic as she stepped out at The Lowry theatre.

The Rochdale actress paid homage to the hit Netflix drama Emily in Paris, starring Lily Collins, about an American who moves to France at the press night for The Play What I Wrote.

Former Coronation Street star Katie turned heads in a lime green shorts suit with a jaunty beret, styled by her stylist-to-the stars friend Ryan Styles.

The look was completed with patterned black tights and metallic heels.

"Call me Emily," she wrote with a painting nails emoji as Ryan shared snaps and video on Instagram.

"Emilee in Salford," she wrote with a picture of her stylish look on her social media.

At the press night Katie, who played tragic Sinead Osbourne in Corrie, was reunited with Rob Mallard who played her on-screen husband Daniel.

"I mean I've missed him a hell of a lot," she wrote with a photo of the pair smiling together side-by-side.

Katie played sweet-natured machinist Sinead in Coronation Street from 2013 until Sinead's tragic death after battling cervical cancer in 2019.

She is currently starring as Becky Quentin in the Channel Four soap Hollyoaks.

Katie, 28, last week admitted that she felt uncomfortable filming a harrowing storyline to highlight sinophobia racism.

In scenes featuring Becky and Serena Chen-Williams, played by Emma Lau, Becky became aggressive after spotting Serena with a parcel received from China, and linked it to the COVID-19 pandemic in a vile outburst.

Also spotted at the press night were ex Hollyoaks actor David Tag, whose character Sylver McQueen recently met a grisly end in an explosion, and former Corrie star Victoria Ekanoye, who played Angie Appleton.

The Death In Paradise actress, who in December underwent a double mastectomy operation after revealing that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, looked on great form as she posed alongside her friends Rhian Sugden and The Apprentice star Amy Anzel.
