Coronation Street stars share 'glamorous' reality of filming ITV soap

Coronation Street stars have shared the "glamorous" reality of what happens behind the scenes as they film the long-running ITV soap.

Daniel Brocklebank, who plays Billy Mayhew on the cobbles, got a group of his co-stars together to snap a selfie and fans have joked about what is really like behind the cameras.

On Wednesday, the 43-year-old took to Instagram to share the photo of himself alongside Todd Grimshaw star Gareth Pierce, Jane Hazlegrove, who plays Bernie Winter, and his on-screen daughter Summer Spellman star Harriet Bibby.

Also in the selfie are Gemma Winter actress Dolly-Rose Campbell, Channique Sterling-Brown, who plays DeeDee Bailey, and Paul Foreman actor Peter Ash. The stars can all be seen wearing red or blue oversized Coronation Street jackets as they pose for the camera on the famous cobbles.

They also cowered under umbrellas as the rain poured down. Captioning the photo, Daniel simply said: "Manchester sun [heart emojis] @coronationstreet".

Fans have been quick to comment on the snap, as Cara said: "Ooo the glamour lol" [sic], while Irene said: "YEYYY we get Barrow in Furness sun like that too haha how amazing is that x"

Nathan said: "What a great photo", while Tim said: "Love it and glad you look so happy", and Wendy said: "Ahh what a lovely photo".
