Customers at a popular pop up butchers in Yate were given a shock when two of the UK's favourite fictional meat workers were selling them goods.

Steve Arnold and Andy Whyment, who played Ashley Peacock and Kirk Sutherland on Coronation Street, were on hand to greet customers and pose for photos on Saturday.

Steve Arnold has not appeared in the popular soap since 2010, after his character was killed in a tram crash.

Andy Whyment plays Kirk Sutherland in the soap and is expected to be at the forefront of drama in an upcoming episode a factory roof collapses.

The pair were at the Mark's Mobile Butchers lorry that is very popular and comes in to the town on the weekend between the hours of 8am-4pm and 9am-3pm respectively.

On the Mark's Mobile Butchers Facebook page, a post said: "What a day at Yate.

"Found a way to empty a truck full of meat - get these 2 in, they were fantastic."

Hundreds of people posed for photos with the pair, with many posting their pictures on Facebook.
