Residents at Lever Edge Care Home in Bolton were pleasantly surprised when a handful of Coronation Street stars popped in on the 29th November for a visit.

Cobbles favourites including Catherine Tyldesley, Brooke Vincent, Dean Fagan, Tisha Merry and Katie McGlynn met the residents during a meet and greet session.

One resident was lucky enough to be taken to the floor to dance with onscreen mechanic Luke.

17 residents were then taken by a fleet of Rolls Royce and Bentleys to Club 3000 in Walkden, where they were treated to bingo and a silver service meal.

Speaking about the star studded visit Lynda Johnson, Manager of Lever Edge Care Home, part of the Hill Care Group, commented: “The residents absolutely loved the visit from the Coronation Street stars. Many of the residents are fans and they remember the old stars of the soap through to today.

“They were thrilled to see the actors who they know from the show. They really are such lovely people. They spent a long time with us at the home chatting with the residents.”

Lever Edge Care Home is part of The Hill Care Group, which operates care homes across England.
