Coronation Street stars came out in force for a special big-screen premiere of the famous soap.
Helen Flanagan, who plays teenage temptress Rosie Webster, was among a host of Weatherfield's VIPs for the first outing of a special DVD entitled, Coronation Street: Out Of Africa.

Former soap star Johnny Briggs, who played Weatherfield wide-boy Mike Baldwin made a surprise appearance to delight fans.

And he was joined by many of the cast along with Big Brother contestants including Chantelle Houghton, Chanelle Hayes, Mario Marconi and his girlfriend Lisa Appleton.

They were at the first showing of the feature-length DVD, which will not be shown on TV, at the Odeon cinema, the Printworks in Manchester city centre.

In the soap spin-off, mother-from-hell Cilla Battersby (Wendi Peters) finds herself embroiled, as usual, in a lucrative scam - only this time, it's in South Africa.

To complete the con, she must contact her estranged and suspicious daughter Fiz (Jennie McAlpine), son Chesney (Sam Aston) and Kirk (Andrew Whyment), and persuade the trio to fly out to meet her in the foreign land.

The DVD goes on sale from November 10.
