Fans of the ITV soap Coronation Street swamped The Caravan Club stand at the opening of The Manchester Caravan and Motorhome Show to see Michelle Collins (the show's Stella Price) step in to a rather unusual Bailey caravan.
To celebrate Manchester's most famous street, the Bailey 'Corrie-van' made headline news with its attention grabbing makeover as Coronation Street's well known pub, The Rovers, complete with pumps serving a special brew - Caravan Club beer.
Apparently Michelle Collins felt at home inside the caravan, not only thanks to its familiar items of Coronation Street-themed decor, including the infamous wooden flying duck ornaments, but also because she is a Caravan Club member and said she is planning a touring holiday to Italy later this year.
She said: "With a caravanning holiday you can be independent; you can take them abroad and don't have to worry about checking in your luggage.
You'll see me on the show for a little bit longer, and then I'll be heading off in a caravan," she continued.
The 'Corrie-van' makeover was based on a Bailey Orion, the predecessor of the new, lightweight and affordable Pursuit range, which was Bailey's best-selling model range at the show.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
