CORONATION STREET CAST RUSH TO SUPPORT JANE DANSON AFTER EMOTIONAL MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT

Coronation Street favourite Jane Danson has received an outpouring of support from fans following a heartfelt marriage milestone announcement shared with her husband.

Jane became a household name when she joined the ITV soap in 1997 as part of the unforgettable Battersby family, alongside sister Toyah (Georgia Taylor).

Throughout her time on the cobbles, Leanne has been at the centre of numerous gripping storylines, tackling everything from scandalous affairs and sex work to devastating baby loss and drug addiction.

Off-screen, Jane is happily married to fellow soap actor Robert Beck, who has graced shows including Brookside, Emmerdale and Waterloo Road.

Robert even made an appearance in Coronation Street back in 2008, portraying criminal Jimmy Dockerson, whilst his Emmerdale role saw him play villain Damon 'Harry' Harris in 1999, reports the Mirror.

The couple first crossed paths at the British Soap Awards in 1999 and exchanged vows in 2005. Together, they share two sons: Harry, born in July 2006, and Sam, born in February 2009.

Recently, Jane sparked an emotional response from followers when she posted a touching tribute to Robert marking their 20th wedding anniversary. She shared a beautiful photograph from their big day on Instagram.

Alongside the image, she penned: "Happy 20th wedding anniversary my love." Within moments, fans and fellow cast members flooded the comments with congratulatory messages. Toyah Battersby actress Georgia Taylor couldn't help but gush: "Absolute couple goals. Love you both so much."

Kirk Sutherland's portrayer Andy Whyment penned: "Ah Happy 20th wedding Anniversary you lovely couple enjoy your day." Samia Longchambon exclaimed: "Happy big Anniversary you two!".

Meanwhile, a fan wished: "Happy Anniversary to a special and beautiful couple I love and adore you both dearly have a wonderful day." Another joined in: "Happy Anniversary you gorgeous pair."

In a previous chat with OK! Magazine, Jane unveiled the secret to her long-lasting marriage with Robert, stating: "Me and my husband have been together for 22 years, and we're really good friends as well as loving each other lots."

She also previously confessed: "Rob's absolutely my best friend in the world. We've only had about two rows in 20 years. I'm not saying we don't get on each other's nerves sometimes, but we're a strong team and we've always allowed each other to be individuals."
