Coronation Street legend celebrates milestone anniversary with real-life husband: ‘I love you’

Coronation Street icon Sally Ann Matthews celebrated her milestone anniversary with husband Nick.

Taking to Instagram the Jenny Connor actress, 54, shared a throwback picture of her and Nick on their wedding day 25 years ago.

She penned: ‘9/9/99 My 29th birthday, our eldest’s christening and our surprise wedding. Happy 25th wedding anniversary Nick Rhodes (not of Duran Duran fame), I love you x.’

Corrie stars and fans expressed their admiration with Sally’s onscreen step daughter Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) commented: ‘I am obsessed with this photo!!! 😍😍😍.

@gemma.ryan.775 added: ‘Beautiful lady with a Truly fantastic barnet of hair.’

Landlady Jenny first appeared in 1986 as the foster daughter of Rita Fairclough (Barbara Knox) and continued for the next five years before making a brief return in 1993.

In 2015, Jenny arrived back onto the cobbles and straight into a disastrous relationship with Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell), before taking on a more permanent stint the following year.

The character has been central to the programme for quite some time, kicking off when Jenny lost her husband Johnny (Richard Hawley) in a freak drowning accident in a sewer system.

Former step-daughter Daisy would later arrive and in more recent months, convince her to use stolen money from the Underworld factory to buy back the Rovers Return.

When fellow step-daughter Carla Connor (Alison King) found out about the two women’s deceit she ordered them to set up a payment plan to give her the cash back.

Her life was also on the line after being targeted by serial killer Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce), who murdered her ex-boyfriend Leo.
