Head of continuing drama John Whiston said: "What fan of Coronation Street hasn’t had a dream where you find yourself transported into the show itself, wandering around the houses of your best-loved characters? I certainly have.

“This unique stay gives you the chance to do just that, stay the night and wake up right next to the Rovers Return.

“What better way to celebrate Britain opening up again than your very own staycation on the nation’s favourite street.”

The bookable date of 2 October will be made available on the Airbnb website on Wednesday 26 May at 1pm and offered on a first come first served basis.
