Coronation Street star Dolly-Rose Campbell has shared the link a famous Manchester drag queen has to her soap wedding as Gemma Winter prepares to walk down the aisle. The actress, who has played Gemma in the Iong-running ITV show since 2014, said it's an 'honour' to a bride in Corrie after growing up watching the soap.
Next week, Gemma and Chesney Brown will tie the knot in front of their family and friends following a five-year-old romance that has been a series of ups and downs. From the high of giving birth to quads on a cable car to the lows of struggling to make ends meet as a family of seven.
But when the wedding day finally arrives, in typical Gemma fashion, the mum-of-four has made sure that all eyes will be on her with an epic wedding gown.

In brand new images released ahead of the scenes airing, Dolly can be seen sporting Gemma's wedding attire - an impressive two-metre wide dress, with a stunning seven-metre long train and complete with fairy lights.
The dress has 125 metres of tiny fairy lights on wire and the lights on the train are activated by a remote control. There are approximately 10,000 stones all individually glued on by hand and the dress took over 200 hours to make. In addition, the train is seven metres long, and Corrie revealed Dolly wanted it even longer, but joked she had to be reined in.
