They used to be Coronation Street co-stars on the cobbles.

But Kym Marsh and Michelle Keegan were once again joining forces on Tuesday night as they helped Jason Manford host a sing-along Christmas carol event in Manchester.

Instinctively co-ordinating in cream, the acting pair lent their star power to the Bridgewater Hall stage event, which raised money for The Childrens' Adventure Farm Trust Charity.

While Michelle plumped for a winter jumper while Kym was slightly more glammed up in a lace frock that skimmed over her curves. 

Kym, who plays Michelle Connor in the soap, worked with Michelle until her character Tina McIntyre was killed off by show bosses in May 2014.

And though they're firm friends in real life, Kym's soap alter-ego was even accused of Tina's murder at one time.

Kym was there to perform on the night and turned her hand from acting back to singing, which is where her career began.

Performer Kym used to be a part of Popstars five-piece Hear'Say between 2001 and late 2002 when they split.

Meanwhile, host Jason was primarily there to entertain, making a minimum of four outfit changes throughout the evening to get a laugh out of the audience.

Frozen's Olaf, Father Christmas, a festive cracker and a Christmas pudding were all a part of the comedian's wardrobe changes on the night. 

As well as Michelle and Kym, Jason was joined by all-star guests John Bishop, John Thomson and Dave Spikey throughout the night.

All profits were donated to the charity, which is an organisation provides a variety of programmes for terminally ill, disabled and disadvantaged children from the North West of England.
