CORONATION Street actress Jennie McAlpine married her long-term partner in secret at Trafford Town Hall last week.

The Corrie star, famous for playing red-headed Fiz Brown, has been dating restaurant manager Chris Farr for seven years.

They also share son Albert, aged two.

Jennie seemed to keep schtum about the nuptials and the ceremony was only revealed when she tweeted a photo of their wedding bands days later.

Jennie's co-stars and fans were shocked by the surprise wedding, with many taking to Twitter to congratulate the newlyweds.

Trafford's Grade II listed hall began offering civil wedding and partnership ceremonies, as well as intimate post-ceremony receptions, back in November 2015.
