Shepherd looked happy and relaxed as they headed for lunch in Manchester's Media City on Thursday Looking casual for her lunch break, Kate, 42, rocked a black padded coat and blue jeans, which she paired with a pair of white trainers. The actress, who wheeled along a pink 'I love Manchester' suitcase, went make-up free for the low-key outing and kept her brunette tresses loose on her shoulders. Jack, 31, looked effortlessly cool in a white long-sleeved polo shirt, black skinny jeans and chunky black boots as he strutted down the street. He added a pair of dark sunglasses to his dapper ensemble as he listened to some music in the sunshine.

Rana returned to the factory to fetch the wedding rings, as fellow bride Kate (Faye Brookes) waited patiently at the venue for her wife-to-be. It was then revealed that Rana was trapped under the rubble, and made a desperate phonecall to Kate for help. While paramedics managed to reach Rana, she asked doctor Ali to break the news to Kate that she might not survive.

In scenes that left viewers highly emotional, Kate and Rana recited their wedding vows to each other and exchanged rings, and the nurse then suddenly passed away. While Underworld boss Carla Connor (Alison King) will get the blame for the accident because she knew the building was unsafe, Corrie viewers at home will know she's not the real culprit.
