A RIBBLE Valley luxury hotel was the setting for the latest Coronation Street wedding.

But this time it was one of the soap's actors getting hitched.

Jane Danson, who plays loudmouth Leanne Battersby, married former Brookside actor Robert Beck at Gibbon Bridge Hotel, Chipping.

Surrounded by 180 family and friends, Saturday's event was described by onlookers as 'the perfect winter wedding'.

Janet Simpson, the four star hotel's owner, said the day was a resounding success.

She added: "It was absolutely amazing. She wore a cream dress and looked fantastic and there were plenty of famous faces here.

"Everyone was perfectly well behaved and we wish them all the best."

Jane, 27, who lives in Bury, has been seeing Robert, 34, for six years. The Street star has been smitten with her husband for many years and used to adorn her bedroom wall with posters of him when he featured in Brookside.

Speaking about her wedding day, Jane had said recently: "It started small, but it's been growing by the day. You invite one person, then you have to invite the next.

Gibbon Bridge Hotel, set in 20 acres of gardens on the edge of Chipping, opened in 1984 and has 29 bedrooms.
