Kym Marsh was quick to share her love for her friend and former Coronation Street co-star Antony Cotton as he enjoyed a very special day. The actor, who is known for playing Sean Tully in the ITV soap, took to Instagram with a snap of himself as he told fans: "So this happened today…"
The picture showed him suited and booted as he held up his MBE after being awarded the honour on Wednesday (June 14) at Windsor Castle. Antony couldn't have looked happier as he posed with his medal in the sunshine at the royal residence.
Antony was actually recognised last year in the now-late Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to British Army personnel and veterans. As well as his work on-screen, the 47-year-old has been involved with the military community since 2008 and was named as the first celebrity ambassador for military charity the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA).
