Coronation Street actor Charlie Lawson is set to marry his fiancée Debbie Stanley, and standing at the alter on their big day will be none-other-than Eamonn Holmes.
Charlie and Eamonn have been close friends for years, and so Eamonn was given an important role for the upcoming big day, and will be officiating the wedding.
Opening up about the important job, Eamonn said on GB News: “This is a window into my life. I can’t go to a hotel where someone doesn’t come up and tap me on the shoulder and say ‘My daughter’s getting married in the next room, you wouldn’t go in and see them?’”
“I got a phone call from a dear friend two weeks ago whose wedding I was going to and he said to me ‘We don’t just want you to go to the wedding, we want you to conduct the ceremony.'”
Continuing: “So, I’ve buried George Best, right? So his family phoned me and said ‘We don’t want a priest or anything but we want you to do George’s funeral ceremony’.”
“And now I’m going to marry Charlie Lawson – Jim McDonald from Coronation Street.”
“So there you are. I should maybe become some sort of preacher.”
Charlie and Debbie have been engaged for over a decade and will be tying the knot in the near future.
The soon-to-be bride recently celebrated her hen party in Belfast, and Charlie took to Instagram to wish her well on the night.
Saying: “Fair warning and attention given to all my lovely friends back in Belfast, Debbie has arrived for her hen-do with ten other girls. So if you spot her out there, buy her a pint and give her a kiss from me.”
