Emmerdale fans know them as Manpreet and Jai Sharma in the Dales but actors Rebecca Sarker and Chris Bisson actually share a Coronation Street connection.
Chris joined Emmerdale back in 2009 as the then factory worker as part of the newly cast Sharma family, while Rebecca took on the role of Manpreet in 2018.
Jai has had his fair share of trials and tribulations in the ITV soap, including battling a cocaine addiction and embarking on disastrous relationships.

This week, Emmerdale fans saw Jai offered an ultimatum by businesses partner Kim Tate. She will let him buy ex-girlfriend Laurel Thomas' house if he sells her his shares in The Hop.
It comes after the businessman was responsible for Laurel not being able to get a mortgage after he took a loan out in her name without her knowing to pay for the fine issued to The Hop following the Survival Day horror.
Meanwhile, Manpreet almost lost her life at the hands of her sister Meena after the serial killer kidnapped her and kept her hostage for weeks, claiming she had gone to see her daughter in Ibiza.
She is now dealing with the fallout alongside many of Meena's other victims after she was finally caught and charged with a raft of offences.
And while the characters may have spent some time as step-mother and step-son Emmerdale, they actually shared a different family relation on the cobbles.
Chris, from Wythenshawe, played Vikram Desai in Corrie from 1999 until 2002. Vikrm was Dev Alahan's cousin and ran the corner shop before it was Dev's. He was the co-founder of Street Cars alongside Steve McDonald.
Rebecca was already in Weatherfield playing Nita
