CORONATION Street star Antony Cotton stepped out from behind the Rovers Return bar to have a tea break with nurses at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.

The Edenfield actor took time out of filming to visit the nurses based on ward 76 to enjoy a well deserved tea break with them.

The former Woodhey High School pupil, who plays Sean Tulley in Corrie, is supporting the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital charity’s Big T-Break event tomorrow.

Antony said: “The nurses do such a wonderful job at the hospital so I thought it would be nice to come down and give them a well deserved tea break.

"I hope that lots of people sign up to the Charity’s Big T-Break.”

The Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital charity is raising money to ensure continued excellence in treatment, care and research — improving the lives of children throughout the North West and beyond.
