Coronation Street's Tyrone Dobbs arrives at Grand National in private helicopter

Coronation Street's Tyrone Dobbs wowed fans as he arrived at the Grand National in style.

Tyrone, played by Alan Halsall, stunned spectators when he stepped out at the racecourse from a private helicopter yesterday, April 12, with him sharing snaps on his Instagram of the luxury arrival.

The Corrie star posted on his Instagram story to his 232,000 followers flaunting his ride, with him uploading a number of photos and videos of the trip just four weeks on from Cheltenham Festival where he did the same.

Showing off his view above the racecourse, he joked; "Go round again... I've not finished my [champagne]." The next story showed the actor sipping on his glass of bubbly.

He then went on to share a video of him walking onto the turf at Aintree before teasing he was the one flying the helicopter home from the opening day of the festival.
