Coronation Street Blog: ITV wins Hilda Ogden Bee for Coronation Street

Remember the Hilda Ogden bee we blogged about some time ago? No? Well, it's all here.

Anyway, last night the bees were auctioned off in Manchester. And ITV won the auction for the Hilda Ogden bee!

Here are some of the Coronation Street cast and crew at the auction. There's Charlie de Melo (Imran Nazir), Melanie Hill (Cathy) and Dolly-Rose Campbell (Gemma Winter). The lady with the red hair with the No. 141 auction paddle in her hand is the lovely Amanda Read who works at ITV.

ITV have confirmed that the bee will take its rightful place in the home of Coronation Street and to be sure of a 'bee-t and greet' make sure you check out the newly released Corrie Tour dates for 2019.
