A beloved Coronation Street star has shared a marriage announcement online just weeks after going through a sad family bereavement

A Coronation Street favourite has been flooded with support after sharing a marriage announcement online.

Adam Rickitt played Nick Tilsley on the long-running ITV soap, making his debut in 1997 – and it’s fair to say it didn’t take him long to become a firm favourite with fans.

However, Adam ended up leaving the show in 1999 to pursue a pop career but returned to the cobbles for a two-year stint from 2002 to 2004. Since his exit, Adam has kept busy, appearing on the likes of Hollyoaks and BBC ’s Doctors.

Away from the showbiz world, Adam is married to Good Morning Britain star Katy Rickitt. The pair first met when Katy interviewed Adam back in 2011 on GMB.

Three years later, the couple tied the knot in a winter wonderland wedding in December 2014.

This month though, the pair announced the heartbreaking news that their beloved dog Daphne had passed away.

And on Saturday (December 20) Adam took to his Instagram to pay tribute to his wife Katy on their 11-year wedding anniversary. The actor uploaded several snaps of the pair and wrote in the caption: “11 years my bean. Thank you for jumping with me.
