She headed for a little catch-up with her castmate Simon Gregson at a spot in Wilmslow he knows very well

Coronation Street star Claire Sweeney was seen sipping tea from a china cup and tucking into the ‘best cakes ever’ as she headed for a little catch-up with her castmate Simon Gregson.

Claire, who is playing Cassie Plummer in the ITV soap, headed over to Wilmslow to meet up with the Steve McDonald actor as he introduced her to his wife Emma’s tearoom.

Morley Tearooms, which is part of the Morley Nurseries and garden centre site, is located on the edge of Wilmslow in Cheshire and serves up Emma’s home-baked cakes as well as breakfasts and classic lunch items.

Emma, who once starred in Hollyoaks, previously shared with the Manchester Evening News how she gets up at the crack of dawn every morning to bake an array of traditional cakes for the café, before heading to set up and serve up an array of hot and cold dishes and teas and coffees at the tearooms itself.

And it appears Simon wanted to take Claire, with whom he’s shared plenty of scenes together of late at the legendary No.1 Coronation Street, along to experience the place for herself.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday (September 5), Claire shared a video to her Stories in which she could be seen sitting opposite Simon as they enjoyed a quintessential brew and the former Brookside star could be heard talking from behind the camera as she took in the establishment.

As she filmed inside the tearoom, which had been decorated with flower garlands and fairylights, Claire could be hard saying: “This is so pretty…” She asked Simon to let everyone know what it was called as she repeated: “Morley Tearooms and Simon’s wife Emma owns it. It’s beautiful.”

After enjoying her visit, Claire later shared a snap of herself, Simon and Emma and gushed: “Lovely to mee your gorgeous wife :fat_dracular @emmagleavage your tea room is beautiful. Best food and cake @tearoomswilmslow.”
