Coronation Street actor Sam Aston has jetted off to a luxury resort in the Maldives for a romantic honeymoon with his wife Briony. The 25-year-old, who plays Chesney Brown in the soap, is staying at the Kuramathi resort, which recently played host to Billie Faiers' wedding.

Yoga teacher Briony has been sharing several photos from their luxurious getaway on Instagram, showing herself practicing yoga on the beach and even getting her new husband involved in one challenging pose.
