Steven Arnold, who used to play butcher Ashley Peacock in the long-running soap, was joined by current star Andrew Whyment – aka Kirk Sutherland – to meet and greet shoppers at the opening of the new Meats Direct store in Telford.

Hundreds of fans were already queuing outside the shop in Market Street, Wellington, by the time the pair arrived at 10.30am on Saturday.

The Coronation Street stars spent several hours in the shop, run by Rob Ward, signing autographs and having their picture taken with fans.
