Earlier in the day, the cast were certainly getting into the spirit of things as they prepared to board the float.

The post asked fans: “Who’s joining Team Corrie in celebrating the love in Manchester today?”

Faye Brookes, who has had a torrid time recently, following her split with Gareth Gates, looked stunning in a long purple wig and sequinned silver jump suit, with glitter on her face.

Faye quit Corrie to concentrate on her wedding to Gareth.

The couple had a seven-year on/off relationship before getting engaged in January and it was recently claimed they had tried their best to “make it work” between them but ultimately decided just to be friends.

Earlier this month, friend and ex-Corrie colleague Kym Marsh said she thinks it’s better the pair made a “brave” decision to call off their wedding rather than end things further down the line.

Writing in her column for OK! magazine, she said: “I sent Faye a text to let her know I’m thinking of her and I said I hoped she was doing OK.

“As sad as it is, it’s better to split before walking down the aisle with someone than marrying someone knowing it’s not the right thing to do.

“Sometimes the bravest and best thing you can do is walk away from the relationship.”
