Snow-ho-ho for Coronation Street and Hollyoaks as the flakes fall on the stars as they attend their White Christmas parties

By Georgina Littlejohn



It's just a few flakes: Corrie's Shobna Gulati, who plays Sunita Alahan, and Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Barlow, smile for the cameras as they're engulfed in snow on the way into the soap's Christmas party


Living in the north of England, they have been used to freezing cold winters much more than their southern neighbours.

So while the rest of the nation shivered and went into a complete standstill this weekend as the snow engulfed the country, the cast members of Coronation Street and Hollyoaks weren't going to stop a few flakes ruining their fun.

Fresh from celebrating their 50th anniversary last week, the Corrie cast had their Christmas party in Manchester last night.


And many of the cast members were engulfed in a sudden snow blizzard as they arrived at the city's Circle Club.

Some of them winched against the falling flakes and bitterly cold wind as they dashed inside, including Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Barlow and Craig Gazey, who stars as Graeme Proctor.


Festive fun: While Ryan Thomas, who plays Jason Grimshaw, strolled nonchalantly through the snow, Craig Gazey, who plays Graeme Proctor, winched and braced himself against it


Sally Dynevor, who plays Sally Webster, couldn't help but laugh as she and a friend ran inside holding a faux fur coat over their heads.

But most of them seemed to shrug it off as got into the festive spirit and embraced the Christmassy weather.

Their high spirits could also be their triumph at a very successful anniversary of the soap which included a live show during which chaos and carnage came to the cobbles after a gas explosion caused a tram to derail and crash on the Street, bringing death and destruction.

At least the majority of the Corrie cast were wrapped up against the wintry weather, which is more than can be said about their Cheshire rivals.

Up in Liverpool, the young cast of Hollyoaks turned out in the freezing cold temperatures to attend their bash at the Portico bar at the city's Albert Dock.

And although the snow had eased off most of them had forgotten their overcoats while some of the girls arrived in short skirts, bare legs and strappy shoes.

Claire Cooper, who plays Jacqui McQueen, was the biggest culprit as she stopped outside to smile for the cameras, wearing a short sparkly skirt, a chiffon top and jacket and thong-style shoes.


Here come the girls: But Alice Barlow, who plays Rae Wilson, Bianca Hendrickse-Spendlove, who plays Texas Longford, and Jessica Forrest, who plays Leanne Holiday, look eager to get into the warm
