Corrie star marries in secret

Jacqueline Pirie has married her firefighter boyfriend in a secret ceremony by the banks of Loch Lomond.

The Coronation Street star, who plays Mike Baldwin's wife Linda, tied the knot with Simon Chadwick at the Cameron House Hotel.

They had earlier said the wedding was cancelled due to the publicity it had been attracting.

Jacqueline, 25, and Simon, 31, were married in front of her three-year-old daughter Alexandra, with two hotel staff as witnesses.

Her parents only found out about the wedding when she telephoned them afterwards. The couple are expecting a child in November.

They were married by Reverend Ian Miller, minister at Bonhill Parish Church. He said: "There wasn't an official photographer but they had their own cameras and some of the staff took photos for them. I think that was an indication of what they wanted - just to be on their own to do this.

"I am sure Jacqueline is a lass who can cope well with publicity, but on this day she decided it was not on. She wanted it to be about herself and her husband."
