Gulati joins Corrie pals for charity bash

Shobna Gulati has joined her old Coronation Street pals in a charity cabaret for a children's hospital.

The actress donned high heel boots, fishnets, hot pants and a slinky silk waistcoat to wow her Manchester audience.

Singing All That Jazz backed by the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines Scotland, she commented: "I love a man in uniform."

Also taking to the stage were Corrie stars Suranne Jones, Cole Page, Tupele Dorgu, Jonathan Wrather and 16-year-old Richard Fleeshman.

Royal Manchester Children's Hospital is aiming to raise £1 million for its Five Stars Scanner Appeal.
