When Real Housewives of Cheshire met Coronation Street as celebs enjoyed a pub lunch

Corrie favourite Simon Gregson swapped the Rovers Return in Weatherfield for a star-studded pub reopening in Wilmslow.

Simon attended the glitzy relaunch of The King William on Manchester Road, following a £300,000 refurbishment, along with the glam stars of The Real Housewives of Cheshire.

The 46-year-old actor from Wythenshawe, who plays former Rovers landlord Steve McDonald in the long-running soap, was joined by his wife Emma Gleave and her brother Mikey.

Also at the relaunch of the pub, taken over three months ago by the team behind the Drum and Monkey in Alderley Edge, were his ITV colleagues and Real Housewives stars Nicole Sealey, Rachel Lugo, Seema Malhotra and Hanna Kinsella with her husband Martin.

The couple cuddled-up as they enjoyed a date after welcoming their adorable baby boy Maximus in February.

Maximus recently made his TV debut on the ITVBe reality show as it returned to our screens for a 13th series.

It has charted dentist Hanna's journey as a new mum after giving birth by ceasarean.

Hanna revealed her pregnancy news during the 12th series of the Real Housewives.

The series featured her gender reveal party with an explosion of blue fireworks lighting up the night sky.

This series has seen the ladies clamouring to meet the newborn.

And unfortunately a girls' night to coax Hanna back out on the town at Menagerie bar and restaurant ended in rows.

Hanna decided to head home to be with her family and removed herself from the tension between the ladies.

Nicole got off to a rocky start with new Housewife Deborah Davies in the new series.

Psychic Debbie was upset when Nicole rolled her mum's crystal ball, which dates back 50 years and holds sentimental value, across a table towards co-star Lauren Simon during a reading.

But entrepreneur Nicole appeared to have put the drama behind her as she struck a pose with Forever Unique fashion boss Seema on the pub terrace.

The pals looked relaxed as they posed for a selfie and Seema flashed a peace sign for the camera.
