The pair dressed up in fancy dress as they filmed scenes for the soap

Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley has left her fans in stitches after sharing a hilarious on-set snap with co-star Shayne Ward.

Catherine, who plays Eva Price in the soap, looked gorgeous in striped dress and wedding veil while Shayne, who plays Aidan Connor, dressed in a floral frock, grey wig and florescent pink lippy.

The snap was taken as the pair filmed scenes for Eva and Aidan’s hen and stag dos.

Catherine, 33, captioned the post: “He’s gonna kill me for sharing this… but you’re in for a treat tonight guys!!! #corrie @shaynetward 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 doesn’t he look pretty? 😂😂😂#hendo #stagdo.”

The photo left fans in stitches with one commenting: “OMG hilarious 😆.”

Another added: “There are some things you just can not unsee😂.”

“😭 omg this is cracking,” one added.

Mum-of-one Catherine is currently involved in a very juicy storyline where viewers have seen her character Eva finally find out her fiancé Aidan has been cheating on her with her best friend Maria, played by Samia Longchambon.

And now Eva has been ruining Aidan’s life and took revenge by maxing out his credit card and planns to leave him with nothing.

As well as focusing on Aidan and making his life hell she has also turned to making Maria squirm.

She forced Maria to plan her wedding in tonight’s episode (September 15) and she’s set to humiliate her “best friend”.

Speaking about the story line earlier this year Catherine told Loose Women: “It’s quite extreme. She very much reverts back to Eva the diva, which is great because when I first came into Coronation Street she was very much of that ilk and it’s nice to see her come back to that to see her feisty side.

“She is quite extreme with the way she reacts. I don’t think I would have done those things personally but for me as an actress it’s brilliant to play. It’s really juicy stuff.”

The blonde beauty also admitted that she once got revenge on an ex-boyfriend when she was younger.

She added: “It happened to me when I was younger. I might have poured a little bit of nail varnish into somebody’s Xbox.

“That was as far as it went and then I walked – Eva is a bit more extreme.

“It felt good. He loved the box more than me.

“I was really young, very naive and I thought we were exclusive and he obviously had other ideas.”

Earlier this month it was announced that from September 20, there will be another visit to Weatherfield every week – and it all kicks off with the couple’s wedding week.

To go alongside the announcement, the show shared a trailer for all the action to Twitter and it looks like it’s going to be a HUGE week of episodes.

In the trailer, Aidan is seen telling Maria: “I’m getting married to Eva today.”

To which she responds: “I hope you have a spectacular day.”

After scenes of other Corrie residents the clip switches back to Aidan and Eva. The bride is tearful and Aidan holds her face in his hands as he tells her: “We can get through this”.

The last shot sees Eva in all her wedding finery turning on Maria: “I am going to have you,” she shouts – before pushing Maria into a fountain!

Eva then jumps in after her and it’s clear the ladies will embark on a full blown fight.

Crikey! This is going to be explosive.
