The stars of Coronation Street and Emmerdale aren't too famous to forget their loved ones as they treated them to a night at the theatre. The ITV soap actors were out in Salford on Wednesday night (March 16) as Disney classic Bedknobs and Broomsticks made its way to The Lowry amid its new musical debut.

The show, where three orphaned children are evacuated from wartime London to live with trainee witch Eglantine Price with no idea of the adventures that lie ahead, opened at the venue on Tuesday and is sticking around until Saturday (March 19).

Corrie star Samia Longchambon, who stars in the soap as Maria Windass, was among those heading to watch the magical new production alongside her husband Sylvain, who fans will likely know for being a professional skater on Dancing On Ice.
