SOAP stars joined former glamour model Michelle Marsh this week at the official opening of her new business.

The mum of two has taken over Royton shop Tilly Flops, which sells clothes for young children and other gifts and goodies.

The former Crompton House pupil was joined by “Coronation Street” star Ryan Thomas, who plays Jason Grimshaw, at the Rochdale Road store. Fellow actors Kelvin Fletcher - Andy Sugden in Emmerdale - and former Corrie crimper Nikki Sanderson, who played Candice, also attended.

Michelle, who is mum to Madison (four) and Owen (18 months), said she is excited about her new business.

She said: “I’ve always loved the shop and was gutted when it closed a few months ago so decided to go for it. I’ve kept the name but have changed a few things.”
