Coronation Street legend Peter Ash showed off a snap of him and his rarely seen partner d Amy.

The Paul Foreman actor, 39, was enjoying a friend’s wedding after Peter was seen enjoying the groom’s stag earlier this year.

Paul was diagnosed with motor neurone disease last year, and in late 2023 was given the heart-breaking news that he only had six months left to live.

Over the past few months, his condition has been deteriorating, and he has now been told that it is no longer safe for him to use the stairlift in and out of the flat.

In a recent episode, viewers will get to see a day in the life from Paul’s perspective, as he and husband Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) spend the day together.

With Paul’s speech significantly deteriorated, viewers heard his innermost thoughts as a voiceover.
