Coronation Street star Michael Le Vell is married!

The 61-year-old actor, who has played Kevin Webster in the soap since 1983, officially married his partner of 12 years, Louise Gibbons, in sunny Manchester on Saturday.

Michael and Louise were joined by many of their Corrie co-stars, including ex-wife Sally Dynevor, 63, and newly single Alan Halsall, 43.

The groom cut a dashing figure for the big day in a neutral three-piece suit, which he wore over a bright white shirt, silk tie and matching pocket square.

The bride, on the other hand, was dazzling in her gorgeous white dress with a form-fitting bodice, low-cut neckline and interestingly textured sleeves.

When the newlyweds left the church, they could not wipe the smiles off their faces as they were greeted with a shower of confetti and applause.

It was Alan’s first public appearance since his recent split from girlfriend Ellie, 26, who is 17 years his junior.

The couple quietly split a year later amid claims they ended things before things got more serious because they were at ‘different times in their lives’.

Insiders told the Daily Mail that Ellie was said to have taken the split hard, even though it was a mutual decision. Read the full Mail+ report here.

Alan and Ellie, who played Tyronne Dobbs in the series, realized that the relationship would not stand the test of time and decided to part ways before things got more serious.

Despite his recent breakup, the actor looked in great spirits in a gray plaid three-piece suit and sunglasses.

Meanwhile, Sally, who has been playing the role of Sally Webster since 1986, looked lovely as she arrived in her blue floral dress.

She also donned a pair of sunglasses amid the UK heatwave and completed her look with stylish heels and a nude bag.

Michael and Louise first started dating in 2014 but split in 2018 after a series of arguments, but they managed to reconcile five years later.

An insider told Sun ahead of their big day: ‘Michael and Louise are going to a registry office tomorrow. There will be no more than 15 people there, including a few of her Corrie co-stars.

‘There will be no such party; a private dinner only because of his past problems with alcohol.

‘It’s been a long time coming and it’s going to be full of love. ‘Michael adores Louise, she has truly been his rock and he can’t wait to make it official.’

Michael was previously married to Corrie star Janette Beverley and the couple have two children.

They separated and divorced in 2011 after 25 years of being together.

In 2018, Michael was seen loading a suitcase into the back of his car and was allegedly staying at a Holiday Inn after splitting from Louise.

A week ago the star was arrested on suspicion of assault after police were called to the home the couple shared.

Meanwhile, Sally, who has played the role of Sally Webster since 1986, looked lovely as she arrived in a blue floral dress.

She also wore sunglasses amid the UK heatwave and completed her look with stylish heels and a nude bag.

Among those in attendance were Corrie co-stars Sue Devanney (L) and Sally Carman (R).

The actor was taken to hospital by officers after falling down the stairs and then spent the night at Manchester police station before being released without charge.

Police said they ‘took no further action’ after releasing the troubled star.

A source told the Sunday Mirror at the time: ‘Everyone is really worried about Michael. Things have reached an all-time low with Louise. He was there when Michael fell down the stairs. He slipped after rowing with someone else at home.

‘Louise was screaming when she fell and was trying to help her. He was very worried. However, the tension between them has been going on for a while. Friends think it’s only a matter of time before they break up.’

But the duo has managed to make it work and move forward in their relationship.

Before their split, it was revealed in December 2017 that the couple had been engaged for nearly a year.

An insider told The Daily Mail at the time: ‘Michael has been engaged for 12 months but has never spoken about it as his personal life is very private.’

Louise also stood by Michael during his battle with drug addiction. It’s been a tumultuous few years since he was acquitted of child sexual offenses in 2013.

Michael was also declared bankrupt in 2019 After paying huge legal fees to clear his name of child sexual allegations.

The actor spent £200,000 fighting the charges before being found ‘not guilty’ on all 12 charges by a jury at Manchester Crown Court in 2013.
