Jennie McAlpine has surprised her fans by revealing that she got married this week, having kept it under wraps for days.
The actress, who stars in Coronation Street as Fiz Brown, posted on Friday evening that she and her long-term beau Chris Farr said their “I dos” in a low-key ceremony in Manchester.
The 32-year-old shared a snap on Twitter of her hand and Chris’s, each wearing that all-important wedding ring.
Along with the snap, she wrote: “So, we went to Trafford Town Hall earlier this week and had a bit of a special day.”
It’s hardly the type of wedding a TV star is expected to have, and her co-stars rushed to congratulate her on the nuptials, after knowing all about it but having to keep their mouths shut.
