The Corrie entry is one of the most eagerly-anticipated parts of the huge Manchester Pride Parade through the city streets
Coronation Street and ITV won't 'formally' take part in this year's Manchester Pride Parade for the first time in ten years - amid cost cuts at the station.
Last year, ITV put a walking entry into the parade for the first time, rather than a float, saying it wanted to 'be as green as possible and cut down on emissions'. However, the Real Housewives of Cheshire did take part on board a large float in the parade which was filmed as part of an ITVBe special of the reality TV show.
An ITV spokesperson said they are continuing to support LGBTQ+ colleagues and viewers across the year. The spokesperson said of Manchester Pride: "ITV cast and colleagues will be present in a personal capacity however this year we won't be having a formal entry. This year's Manchester Pride Parade will have the theme ‘Buzzin’ to be Queer - A Hive of Progress’. It will take place across Manchester city centre starting at Liverpool Road from 12noon on Saturday, August 24.
2022 Corrie stars boarded a rainbow-printed open top bus for the first time for the 2022 event. Stars including Daniel Brocklebank and Antony Cotton carried rainbow flags and rainbow brollies on board.
