The star's Facebook page also posted a few pictures from the big day back in April.

The star opened up about her personal life back in 2016, explaining to the Big Issue: "I never married because I was married to the job.

"I never had any children and I’m now nearly 50 and I think I’ve missed that opportunity, but it’s only because I was busy doing what I was doing.

"People think you can have it all – I actually don’t think you can. I like to do one thing and not juggle about 25 plates. I’ve got a lovely partner and my sister and my niece. I’ve got a life outside of acting."

Sue first played Debbie on Coronation Street for a short spell in the 1980s, returning to the role five years ago.

Speaking in 2020 about being asked to return, the actor said she felt "very fortunate" to be cast again after all the years.

"I was so excited," she told This Morning. "It is wonderful because you always think if you've been in a soap or a series, if they want a character back, they'll ask you back but sometimes they don't [and] they ask another actor.

"So I felt very fortunate, very lucky, that they asked the original Debbie Webster back."

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
