The stars of Coronation Street gathered for a spectacular summer party in Manchester. The Summer Sizzler event, held at Victoria Warehouse, saw a host of the show’s stars come together for a fun-filled night. Colson Smith and Lucy Fallon took the lead in organizing the event, creating a memorable evening for their co-stars.
Despite the rain, spirits were high as the stars arrived in glamorous summer outfits. Among those in attendance were Tina O’Brien, Sally Ann Matthews, Jennie McAlpine, Sam Robertson, Daniel Brocklebank, Julia Goulding, Claire Sweeney, Channique Sterling-Brown, Mikey North, Alan Halsall, and Andy Whyment.
Victoria Warehouse, located near the ITV Corrie studios at Trafford Wharf, was transformed into a Corrie-themed wonderland. The venue featured Rovers Return props and a Weatherfield County trophy, adding to the festive atmosphere. A large “Team Corrie” photo posted by Channique Sterling-Brown captured the night’s lively spirit.
The event’s orange and pink theme, complete with balloons and a glitter board, set the stage for a fantastic night. Numerous photo opportunities were available, including the Coronation Street logo projected on the walls and giant illuminated “CORRIE” letters.
Guests enjoyed popcorn from a machine sponsored by Weatherfield County Football Club, adding a playful touch. Live music from the Rocksteady band provided the soundtrack for the evening, but it was Andy Whyment who truly stole the show. Known for his role as Kirk Sutherland, Andy delighted his co-stars with renditions of hits like the Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody” and Kings of Leon’s “Sex on Fire.” His performance of Oasis’s “Don’t Look Back in Anger” became the biggest singalong of the night.
Georgia Taylor shared videos of Andy’s performance, humorously noting, “Is it even a party if Andy Whyment doesn’t sing?” Alan Halsall, who attended the bash with Andy, also posted a video of the performance, calling Andy his hero.
Lucy Fallon expressed her gratitude on Instagram, thanking everyone who helped make the party a success. She shared several photos of her co-stars enjoying the event. Other stars, including Georgia Taylor, Jennie McAlpine, Claire Sweeney, and Cherrylee Houston, also posted images from the celebration, highlighting the joy and camaraderie of the night.
