Coronation Street's Alison King wears ill-fitting dress to Beverley Callard's wedding

Happy family: Coronation Street star Alison King with partner Adam Huckett and daughter Daisy Mae at Beverley Callard's wedding near Leeds today


It was a far cry from the cobbles of Weatherfield when Coronation Street stalwart Beverley Callard finally tied the knot today.

The star, 53, who plays Liz McDonald, was walking up the aisle with partner Jon McEwan, with whom she owns a pub in Salford, The White Horse.

They got spliced at the elegant Hazelwood Castle Hotel near Leeds, which describes itself as the 'best-kept secret in Yorkshire'.

However, despite the glamorous surroundings, guest Alison King was wearing an outfit that looked more suitable for an evening down the Rovers and did little to showcase her stunning figure.

The soap siren, 37, who plays knicker factory boss Carla Connor, was was sporting an odd-looking short cream dress which appeared ill-fitting around her middle, topped off with a shapeless faux fur shrug.

She'd accessorised with a baggy black hat and slightly clompy black strappy shoes.

Wedding party: Charles Lawson, who is about to make his return as Jim McDonald in Coronation Street


The couple might also have landed themselves with something of a bargain, as the venue's official website says that there was £5,000 off wedding ceremonies held in October.

Beverely announced earlier this month that she was quitting Corrie after 21 years, just months after revealing she is battling depression.

She will last be seen on the screen in the New Year.

Other guest from the soap who were there for her wedding included Charles Lawson, 51, who plays Beverley's estranged onscreen husband Jim MCDonald, and Ryan Thomas, 27, who plays Jason Grimshaw.

He'd taken along his gorgeous two-year-old daughter Scarlett, while her mother, his ex partner Tina O'Brien took part on tonight's live Strictly Come Dancing.

Also there were Alison's partner, Corrie sound technician Adam Huckett, and their toddler daughter Daisy Mae.
