Jonathan Howard, who plays Carl Webster in the ITV soap, was caught off guard when his glamorous other half popped up during filming. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Jonathan's character Carl is in a love triangle in Coronation Street Credit: ITV 6 But in real-life, he is married to a well-known actress Credit: Instagram While the pair tend to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, fans were quick to clock who she was – a well-known face from other hit TV shows. The sweet moment was captured behind the scenes, as the couple couldn't stop smiling as they reunited on set. The soap actor, 38, made his first appearance on the cobbles earlier this year as the estranged brother of Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) - who is currently battling testicular cancer. But, he didn't expect to fall for his brother's missus Abi Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine) and has now found himself in a love triangle. However, in real-life, Jonathan is married to actress Elodie Yung. The French-Cambodian actress has starred in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, G.I. Joe: Retaliation and Daredevil. She has more recently played the title role of Thony De La Rosa in The Cleaning Lady. The couple currently live in the United States with their seven-year-old daughter. Elodie, 44, took to Instagram to reveal she was in Manchester and paid a visit to her hubby on the famous cobbles. Taking to her Instagram Stories, she posted a selfie of themselves in the famous ginnel. Coronation Street fans predict shock unannounced death for character after 20 years on the cobbles as Nina and Summer mystery rocks Weatherfield Elodie penned: "Visited @mrjonathanhoward on set @coronationstreet". Before joining Corrie, Jonathan starred in Hollywood movies, including World War Z, Downton Abbey, and Thor: The Dark World. The Lancashire-born actor also appeared in Mr Selfridge and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Last December, he announced a new role in the horror film The Dreadful - also starring Sophie Turner and Kit Harington. Real-life soap couples Soaps are renowned for their sweet and scandalous romances – but it's not just in scripted storylines where love is blossoming. A number of our favourite small-screen actors have fallen for co-stars and soapland rivals when the cameras have stopped rolling. Max Parker and Kris Mochrie Despite playing brothers Luke and Lee Posner on Emmerdale, the pair never actually shared any scenes together. But the pair still fell in love after meeting on set. Max and Kris got together in 2020, moving in together later than same year and got engaged in 2022. In a sweet Instagram post, the couple confirmed they're planning a 2025 wedding. Beth Cordingly and Ian Kelsey Beth, who plays Ruby Fox-Miligan, announced her love for her co-star Ian Kelsey, who played Dean Glover, shortly after she joined Emmerdale at the beginning of 2024. 'I am very in love with Ian and very happy. I think it really does work him being an actor too. He has been so fantastic," she gushed. Laura Norton and Mark Jordan Kerry Wyatt and Daz Eden actors Laura and Mark met on the set of Emmerdale in 2014. The couple, who got engaged in 2018, told Loose Women they spent a long time deciding whether they should "just stay as friends." Although it seems they were meant to be and the pair now share two children together. Zoe Henry and Jeff Hordley Emmerdale favourites Zoe and Jeff, who play Rhonda Goskirk and Cain Dingle met at drama college in 1994 and have been together ever since. While working together might be too much for some couples, that's definitely not the case for Zoe and Jeff. Zoe previously told The Sun: "Working on the same show as Jeff also helps because if one of us is having a bad day then the other will completely understand." Lesley Dunlop and Chris Chittell Lesley and Chris are another Dales romantic success story. Unlike some of the other soap stars, the pair who play Brenda Walker and Eric Pollard, are together on and off screen, officially tying the knot in 2016. They also adore working together, but have clear home-work boundaries. "We make a point of not talking about Emmerdale when we're at home, though – that would be just too sad, wouldn't it?" Chris revealed. Sally Carman and Joe Duttine Abi Franklin and Tim Metcalfe actors Sally and Joe got together after meeting on the set of Coronation Street in 2017 and they tied the knot in July 2022. But unlike some of the Emmerdale stars, Sally and Joe prefer that their characters don't interact much. Sally previously admitted it "would be horrendous" to work on a storyline with Joe because "he's too funny." Anthony Cotton and Peter Eccleston Sean Tully may have been unlucky in love on the cobbles, but in real life Antony's met his Prince Charming. The soap star started dating long-term partner Peter in 2005, after they met when he was working as an assistant props buyer on Corrie. Jane Danson and Robert Beck Corrie favourite Jane Danson tied the knot with soap star Robert Beck in 2005. The actress, who plays Leanne Battersby, shares two children, Harry and Sam, with the former Brookside star. During their marriage, Robert has also done a stint in Weatherfield playing criminal Jimmy Dockerson. Caroline Harding and Chris Gascoyne Chris, who played pub landlord Peter Barlow, married soap star Caroline in 2002. Although she is best known as an Emmerdale star, Caroline did visit her husband at work when she did a two-episode stint as doctor on the Manchester soap in 2020. The couple share a daughter called Belle, plus two children, Pip and Freddie from Caroline's previous marriage. Nadine Mulkerrin and Rory Douglas Speed Nadine Mulkerrin, and Rory Doulas Speed are known for their Hollyoaks alter egos Cleo McQueen and Joel Dexter. The loved-up pair got engaged on a December 2018 trip to Amsterdam - just over a year after they announced they were dating. They now share two kids, Reggie and Dougie. Sophie Austin and Shayne Ward Former Hollyoaks star Sophie, whose best known for playing villain Lindsay Butterfield, was introduced to singer and ex-Corrie star Shayne through mutual friends. She gave birth to their daughter Willow in December 2016 and they welcomed a son in 2022. Meanwhile, on Coronation Street, Abi is trying to convince herself that she doesn't have feelings for Carl... the pair just can't stay away from each other. They almost shared a kiss - but was interrupted by a phone call from the hospital informing them that Kevin had collapsed. Carl then made the decision to stick around Weatherfield a little longer - but who is he really staying for? How long will it be until Abi and Carl finally give in to their feelings? Meanwhile, Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) is struggling to come to terms with her dementia diagnosis. And Carl is the only person who knows about it... for now. How long can Debbie hide her illness from her family and friends? And can they forgive Carl for not sharing it with them when he found out? Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX. 6 She played Elektra Natchios in the second season of Daredevil Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 6 Elodie played Jinx in G.I.

Coronation Street horror as evil villain makes 'impossible' return against all odds - leaving fans sick to their stomachs
Coronation Street fans were left sick to their stomachs after an evil villain made an 'impossible' return against all odds during Monday's episode of the ITV show. Lauren Bolton, played by actress Cait Fitton in the programme, couldn't believe her eyes when she thought that she'd seen Joel Deering (Calum Lill) - which makes no sense as he is dead. After viewers will know the evil solicitor was killed by Lauren back in September last year. During the most recent episode of Corrie, Lauren didn't realise that she had taken a sip of lemonade, which had LSD in it, when she attended Aadi Alahan's (Adam Hussain) party. When a man wondered up to her, Lauren was convinced that it was Joel, not knowing that it was actually the drugs taking over her body. Just before Aadi could get to her and give her the help she needed, Lauren locked herself in the factory. The teen scared herself that much that she thought that 'Joel' was trying to take her baby Frankie away from her. 'I don't want to do this, give me Frankie please,' she told him. She then shouted: 'Just give him to me Joel!' Lauren welcomed Frankie into the world after she fell pregnant with Joel's child after he groomed and abused her for many months. Those watching at home were left gobsmacked at the scenes and rushed to X. 'Lauren is having a massive trip and seeing dead Joel.' 'OMG Lauren??????????' 'Lauren seeing Joel oh god #corrie.' 'One word for tonight's #Corrie WTF !! That was wacky.' Lauren and Joel started to get close when he helped her with an arrest. He also helped her with any money that she needed, but she had to give something back in return - sex. But Lauren wanted to cut it off at one point and even threatened him that she would tell his girlfriend Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown). This led him to beating her up and she was left in a really bad way and absent from the Cobbles for half a year. When she returned to Weatherfield things got heated again and she ended up murdering Joel after he attacked her friend Max Turner (Paddy Bever). It comes after it was revealed that Jack Carroll has reportedly left the show after two years - and fans have already seen his final scenes. The actor, 26, who shot to fame on Britain's Got Talent, joined the soap in 2023 as Bobby Crawford. It's now been revealed by The Mirror that Bobby has departed the soap — though his exit isn't permanent, with the door left ajar for a possible comeback in the future. A source told the publication: 'Bobby has had a dramatic couple of years on the cobbles, but the time has come to bid farewell. Actor Jack enjoyed his time on the soap, but it's time to move on. 'Viewers won't see the character exit the street as he's already left, with Jack filming his final scenes some time ago. 'The door has been left open for Jack should he wish to come back to the show in the future. With his Aunty Carla there, Bobby will always have a place in Weatherfield.'

Love Island winner Sanam Harrinanan gives an insight into wedding dress shopping as she prepares to marry fiancé Kai Fagan
Love Island winner Sanam Harrinanan gave an insight into wedding dress shopping on Tuesday as she prepares to marry her fiancé Kai Fagan. The couple, who met on the 2023 ITV series, won by a landslide, receiving a whopping 44 percent of viewer votes and clinching the £50,000 prize fund. Trying on a number of dresses at Lotte Rose Bridal, in Bedford, Sanam, 26, shared some of her favourites in an Instagram update. Firstly, she tried on an off-the-shoulder lace gown before changing into an A-line dress with a corset top. She captioned the update: 'Part two of trying to find a wedding dress. 'This shop was absolutely stunninnnggg! Let me know in the comments which style/shape you think suits me best!' In December, the couple revealed that they haven't been swept up by the trappings of fame, having returned to their day jobs and turning down big money brand deals. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Sanam and Kai explained why they chose to return to their jobs as a social worker and PE teacher respectively. Sanam shared: 'I went to uni for five years to do something I'm very, very passionate about. 'It didn't feel right giving up what I'd learned, what I'd gained a passion for. Also knowing that you're making a difference in very many young children and adopted parents' lives is a massive sense of fulfillment. 'I love my job and it just didn't feel right to just walk away from it all when I work so hard. I wasn't ready to give up.' Sanam added: 'There's a perception that if you go on Love Island and then go back to work, you've been unsuccessful but that's really not the case with us because we both felt so strong about our careers and our passions. It's a case of living the best of both worlds. 'I'm really grateful for the opportunities and experiences that Love Island has brought our way but also waking up every single morning and feeling like you're actually being impactful in some way. 'We both work directly with children and the fact we can do that makes us feel like we're making a difference in our world. That's what's important to me.' Kai revealed he felt the same about teaching, explaining: 'I really enjoyed it and even before I went in the villa and was doing all the interviews and discussing my work I was always adamant that I really like teaching. 'I wasn't on the show for a career change. I was going on there for the experience and for the opportunity to meet somebody. 'You come out and you have all these opportunities. The opportunities are still amazing. But what I really wanted to do is go back into education in some sort of capacity. 'Working in education is something that made me happy going in - speaking to the students, helping and guiding them through their lives. 'Having a direct impact and knowing that every single day you're waking up and looking at somebody and thinking, I'm actually making a little bit of a difference here. 'That's what gets me up in the morning. That's what makes me happy.'
