They're used to hanging out on the cobbles but a few of Coronation Street's favourite stars ditched Weatherfield for an awards bash on Tuesday night - and they looked stunning.

Julia Goulding, Mollie Gallagher, Dolly-Rose Campbell, Tanisha Gorey and Sally Ann Matthews represented the ITV soap at the Royal Television Society (RTS) awards. The do saw Gaham Norton and screenwriter Jack Thorne among those honoured for their outstanding contributions to British television.

RTS shared on its official Twitter account: "Praised by judges for 'constantly finding new story areas and fresh, relevant narratives', the @Hollyoaks team takes home the Soap and Continuing Drama award! #RTSAwards." Speaking after the win, Loose Women's Kéllé Bryan, who also plays Martine Westwood on the soap, said the cast were "absolutely over the moon," with the win.

Attending the event, Corrie's Julia, who plays Shona Platt, donned an emerald green dress with extravagant sleeves which she paired with a classic black heel.
