Coronation Street’s Daniel Brocklebank has opened ‘Dan’s bar’ during lockdown and invited two of his co-stars to join him.
Sue Cleaver (Eileen Grimshaw) and Julia Goulding (Shona Ramsay) both got in on the action on Sunday night.
Daniel shared a screenshot of the three of them enjoying drinks together – but of course at their separate homes.
The Coronation Street stars, like the rest of the country, are currently on lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus.
The soap stopped filming last weekend and has cut the number of episodes it is broadcasting from six to just three a week.

Get outta my pub!
Meanwhile, Daniel has joked he has been visiting Dan’s bar rather a lot since lockdown measures began last week.
He’s tweeted on several occasions that that’s where he’ll be if anyone needs him.
The Billy Mayhew actor also joked he has trouble chucking himself out at closing time!
I went to Dans Bar again last night. The trouble with running it & being the only patron is that I have to chuck myself out at closing time & I just can’t bring myself to do it.. I’m such a good customer..
