Coronation Street's young talent Jude Riordan enjoyed a heartfelt reunion with his on-screen mum Rachel Leskovac at the theatre this week, as the pair were surrounded by stars from both Corrie and Waterloo Road who had travelled to Manchester on Wednesday 31 July to see Kym Marsh take to the stage as the infamous Cruella De Vil in Disney's 101 Dalmatians: The Musical.
Kym had teased her lead role as the socialite plotting to transform adorable Dalmatian puppies into a lavish fur coat earlier in the week with the words: "Lock up your puppies...
