Coronation Street has released the first official pictures of Beth Tinker and Kirk Sutherland’s upcoming Eighties-themed wedding.

Beth (Lisa George) and Kirk (Andrew Whyment) are due to tie the knot, but typically Beth wants to make as big a splash as possible, and so has gone for a fancy dress theme.

The knicker stitcher can be seen as Madonna from her Like A Virgin years, while groom Kirk will be heading down the aisle styled as Adam Ant.

The theme doesn’t stop with the happy couple – bridesmaids Maria Connor (Samia Ghadie), Sinead Tinker (Katie McGlynn) and Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) come as pop trio Banarama, while best man Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) and usher Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) team up as the Blues Brothers.

Guests also get in on the theme – Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor) and Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) are styled as pop star duo Dollar, Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) is George Michael, Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) is a Ghostbusters character, Julie Carp (Katy Cavanagh) comes as Molly Ringwald, and much to the bride’s disgust, Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent) and Maddie Heath (Amy Kelly) also take Madonna as inspiration in Vogue-style outfits.

But will the day go off without a hitch? As Kirk gets intimidated by the arrival of Beth’s family who don’t think he is a good enough catch, nerves overtake him and it is left to Chesney to try to talk some sense into the groom.

Viewers can see how the wedding day plays out on ITV on January 9.
