Corrie's Kevin Webster actor Michael Le Vell is set to marry Louise Gibbons this weekend after 12 year romance as loved up couple pack on the PDA hours before they say 'I do'

Coronation Street star Michael Le Vell is set to marry his fiancée of 12 years Louise Gibbons on Saturday. 

The actor, 61, who plays Kevin Webster on the soap, was seen enjoying some pints at a local pub on Friday ahead of his nuptials. 

The couple first started dating in 2014, but split up in 2018 after a series of reported rows. 

However they managed to reconcile and five years later are preparing to tie the knot. 

In their latest loved up snaps, Michael couldn't resist planting a kiss on his wife-to-be's cheek as they were seen ahead of their wedding. 

Keeping it casual, Michael wore a brown T-shirt and beige shorts, while Louise opted for an all white 'bridal' tracksuit.  

An insider told The Sun ahead of their big day: 'Michael and Louise are heading to a registry office tomorrow. There will be no more than 15 people there, including a couple of his Corrie co-stars.

'There isn’t going to be a party as such – just a private dinner because of his past issues with alcohol.

'It’s been a long time coming and will be full of love. Michael adores Louise, she has truly been his rock and he can’t wait to make it official.'

Michael was previously married to fellow Corrie star Janette Beverley and the pair have two children together. 

They separated after 25 years together in 2011 and obtained a divorce. 

Back in 2018 Michael was seen loading a suitcase into the back of his car and was supposedly staying at a Holiday Inn following his split from Louise.

A week prior the star had been arrested on suspicion of assault after police were called to the house the couple shared.

The actor was taken to hospital by officers after falling down a flight of stairs and then spent the night at a Manchester police station before being released without charge.

Police say they were taking 'no further action' after releasing the troubled star.

A source told the Sunday Mirror at the time: 'Everyone is really worried about Michael. Things have hit an all-time low with Louise. She was there when Michael fell down the stairs. He slipped after rowing with another person in the house.

'Louise was screaming and trying to help him when he fell. She was so worried. But things have been tense between them for a while. Friends think it is just a matter of time before they split.'

However the pair managed to make it work and move forward with their relationships. 

Prior to their split, it had been revealed in December 2017 that the pair had been engaged for around a year. 

An insider told The Daily Mail at the time: 'Michael been engaged for 12 months but is very private about his personal life so has not spoken about it at all.' 

Louise has also stood by Michael's side amid his battle with drug addiction during a turbulent few years after being acquitted of child sex offences in 2013.

Michael was also declared bankrupt in 2019 after paying hefty legal fees to clear his name against child sex allegations.

The actor spent £200,000 fighting the charges before being found 'not guilty' of all 12 counts by a jury at Manchester Crown Court in 2013.
