Coronation Street star Alexandra Mardell might have been unlucky in love on screen, but she's faring much better in real life, having married fellow actor Joe Parker in a romantic North Yorkshire wedding. The acting legend, who is well-known for her portrayal of Emma Brooker in ITV's Corrie, kept everything ultra-personal and even banned close friends and family from using their phones at the ceremony in a bid to keep things private. The pair, who had been engaged for two years before finally tying the knot, explained their reasons for secrecy in an interview with OK! magazine.
