Jack said: “We have a Platts’ WhatsApp group. I’ve binned her from the group because she’s no longer a Platt.”
Shooting soap wedding day scenes can often be long days, and stars read books, eat sweets and browse social media to keep themselves amused.
However, for these Corrie nuptials Simon Gregson – who plays Steve McDonald – took a laser quest game on to the wedding set and challenged Colson Smith (Craig Tinker) to a game.
Jack added: “There’s a lot of people with books, a lot of people asleep, on iPads, people bring sweets and chocolate biscuits.
“Si Gregson has brought in laser quest. That’s good.”
