Shayne Ward and girlfriend Sophie Austin glam up for night out with Corrie stars at charity bash in Manchester

SHAYNE Ward and his girlfriend Sophie Austin glammed up for a charity bash in Manchester.

The actor-singer joined a host of other soap stars at the glam night out.

Decked out in a suave blue suit and bowtie, Shayne looked the consummate gentleman.

Since leaving Corrie earlier this year he's clearly taken time to grow out his beard - which framed his handsome face wonderfully.

The star was joined by his gorgeous girlfriend Sophie who looked ravishing in red.

Sophie let her locks cascade down her shoulders and matched her lippie with her dress.

And also joining them at the event was Shayne's former on-screen fiancée Catherine Tyldesley.

The actress looked striking in a chic black dress that showed off her trim physique.

Catherine wore her hair loose and wavy and her make-up subdued to let the dress do the talking.

As well as wowing on the red carpet, the star performed a rendition of 'Baby Of Mine' at the event held by the Taylor Lynn Corporation.

Fellow Corrie star Kym Marsh was also in attendance - looking stunning in a bold bright orange number.

The former Hear'Say singer rocked an elegant strapless floor-length gown for the glitzy affair.

And she completed the chic look with a chignon pulled to the side and a glamorous smokey eye.

You would be forgiven for believing it was a cast night out as Corrie star Antony Cotton also made an appearance.

The actor-comedian who plays Sean Tully looked dapper in black tie as he cuddled up to his colleague Kym.

The star-studded charity event was held in Manchester's Victoria Warehouse and seemed to be quite the swanky soirée from the looks of it.

It even boasted Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville as host of the occasion.

And Take That crooner Gary Barlow wowed the crowds by performing his greatest hits.
