It's the perfect excuse to splash out on the holiday of a lifetime, so it's little surprise that Coronation Street actor Sam Aston has jetted off to the Maldives for his honeymoon with long-term partner Briony. And while some of his co-stars have also chosen far-flung exotic destinations for their own honeymoons, others stayed a little closer to home. Take a look through the gallery to see where some of the Corrie cast went on honeymoon…
Sam Aston
Sam Aston, who plays Chesney Brown in the soap, has been enjoying a romantic honeymoon in the Maldives after marrying long-term girlfriend Briony.
