Coronation Street star Ciaran Griffiths has secretly tied the knot with his other half in Australia. He shared images of himself and his new bride to social media.

Ciaran, who played Damon Hay on Corrie, left the show recently after his character was sent to prison. The actor is notoriously private about his home life.

Although Ciaran’s Instagram profile is set to private, The Sun obtained the pictures of his wedding, which the actor had shared there.

The images show Ciaran in a blue blazer, white shirt and dark trousers posing in front of the Sydney Opera house with his wife in her wedding dress holding flowers.

Although he is from Manchester, Ciaran now lives in Australia. He went there for a theatre tour in 2019 and met his now-wife. He now has a son and they all live together in Oz.

It meant he had to ‘commute’ to Manchester for his role as Damon. When he returned to the soap in December 2023 after a stint away, Ciaran explained the difficulties. He said: “It was hard the first time, but my son is a bit older now, he understands a bit more so I don’t feel as guilty leaving him, even though I’m doing it for them anyway.

“But the weather’s terrible, I’m never ill in Australia, yet I get here and straight away I’ve got a cold!”

Ciaran departed Corrie last month after Damon was arrested in an armed robbery. He had been trying to make it straight so he could support Sarah and settle down with her. However it all went wrong when Adam Barlow teamed up with Damon’s brother Harvey Gaskell.

Adam was jealous that estranged wife Sarah had chosen to be with Damon and after driving Damon out of town didn’t work, he turned to the imprisoned drug dealer for help.
