Helen Worth gets teary at Tina O’Brien’s wedding

Helen Worth got teary as she watched her on-screen daughter Tina O’Brien tie the knot.
The ‘Coronation Street’ veteran, who has played Gail Platt since 1974, couldn’t help but get emotional when she saw Tina – who has portrayed Sarah Platt since 1999 – marry Adam Crofts on New Year’s Eve (31.12.18).
When asked if Helen got emotional, Tina said: "She told me she got quite teary.
"Having a singalong and being able to look at everyone was perfect for me.
"I got to smile at people and take in everybody who was there."
As well as Helen, Several of Tina’s other co-stars were in attendance on her and Adam’s big day at Manchester boutique hotel King Street Townhouse.
Jack P. Shepherd – who plays her on-screen brother David Platt – was there with his girlfriend Hanni Treweek, and Lucy Fallon (Bethany Platt) celebrated her pal and on-screen mum’s nuptials with boyfriend Tom Leech.
Julia Goulding (Shona Ramsey), Mikey North (Gary Windass) and Alison King (Carla Connor) were also present during the day, while Sair Khan (Alya Nazir) and Colson Smith (Craig Tinker) attended the evening part of the nuptials.
However, Tina’s on-screen grandmother Sue Nicholls (Audrey Roberts) wasn’t able to attend the wedding, nor was her ‘Corrie’ co-star and pal Samia Longchambon (Maria Connor).
She said: "Sadly Sue Nicholls and Ben Price couldn’t make it.
"Nor could Samia Longchambon, as she had all of Sylvain’s family over from France for Christmas."
Despite being a wedding, the happy couple wanted to make the event feel "more of a night out".
Speaking to OK! magazine, she added: Even though it was our wedding, we wanted to make it feel like it was more of a night out as well.
"I just loved the fact that everybody was there and able to see in the new year together.
"It was all the people we really cared about in one place. It was perfect."
