Some of the biggest names in TV soaps descended upon the Manchester235 casino over the weekend.

Stars from Coronation Street, Hollyoaks and Emmerdale turned up to attend the birthday party of Corrie actress Kym Ryder.

The bash had a fancy dress theme and Ryder herself wore two costumes, turning up in a Catwoman outfit before changing into an Alice in Wonderland number later in the evening.

Other famous characters being portrayed by the actors in the casino's Ikon VIP area included Beetlejuice, Marge Simpson, Cleopatra and Amy Winehouse.

It is not the first time that Manchester235 has attracted celebrities this spring.

Several members of Premier League champions Manchester United went to the venue to celebrate their 2-0 victory over Wigan Athletic on the last day of the football season.

Carlos Tevez and Rio Ferdinand were both there, although neither of them decided to dress up as a hotdog - as Corrie star Anthony Cotton elected to do for Ryder's birthday celebration.
