Beloved Coronation Street couple Jack and Vera Duckworth have been reunited.

But Corrie viewers can be assured Vera isn't making a Bobby Ewing-style comeback from beyond the grave - actors Bill Tarmey and Liz Dawn were only back together off-screen.

Tarmey, 66, and Dawn, 68, were thrilled to see each other at the TVNow Awards in Dublin on Saturday night.

Back together: Coronation Street stars Liz Dawn (Vera) and Bill Tarmey (Jack)

Dawn, whose iconic Corrie character Vera died in January, was at the glitzy ceremony to pick up a Lifetime Achievement Award for her 34 years in the northern soap.

Dawn was just one of a host of Coronation Street stars who swept the board at the annual TV awards, beating rivals EastEnders and Emmerdale.

Kym Ryder was named Favourite Female Soap Star for her portrayal of barmaid Michelle Connor, while Jack P Shepherd was named Favourite Male Soap Star for his performance as Weatherfield bad boy David Platt.

Dawn stunned Corrie fans last year when she announced her decision to quit following years of poor health.
