On Coronation Street it’s a wonder that anyone bothers to get married.
Not since Jack and Vera Duckworth has a marriage lasted longer than a couple of years – but these lot barely made it out of the church before splitting.
With Fiz leaving Phill just hours after tying the knot, which other cobbles marriages were over before the reception?

Steve and Tracy had a lovely wedding in 2012 – and a less lovely wedding reception.

Rana Habeeb and Kate Connor – 15 minutes
Within minutes of saying her vows, Rana was dead and Kate was utterly devastated.
Not quite the same as deciding to leave your new husband for your ex – but it was quicker.
