Coronation Street star Joe Duttine has paid a sweet tribute to his ‘beautiful’ wife, who also happens to be one of his co-stars on the long-running show.
Fans best know the actor for playing Tim Metcalfe in the ITV soap, with the cabbie married to Weatherfield icon Sally Metcalfe (nee Webster).
But away from the cobbles, Joe is loved-up with Sally Carman. The actress made her debut in the show back in 2017 in the role of Abi Webster, even years after her now-husband made his debut.
Sally and Joe met on the cobbles, despite having been in Channel 4 series Shameless at the same time. They then tied the knot in July 2022 with the pair saying ‘I Do’ two years after getting engaged.
Sally confirmed the happy news with an image posted to her Instagram account which she captioned: “We did.” The snap showed the newlyweds sharing a kiss, both with a glass of fizz in hand, standing under a stunning balloon arch.
Joe has three children from a previous relationship, who Sally recently revealed she has honoured with her very own tattoo. Reflecting on making spontaneous decisions, the soap star said she would just casually stroll into a tattoo parlour and get a new ink done.
“Or I’ll just walk in and get a tattoo,” she told OK! magazine after revealing she once chopped her hair off on the spot. “I’ve got three, but one I’ve had done four or five times. It’s been cover up after cover up – it’s actually hideous, I hate it!”
Speaking about her newest ink, she added: “The most recent is a fancy J with three stars on my ribs. The J is for Joe and the stars are for his three kids. That one is really nice.”
But back to now and Joe has shared a rare post about Sally on social media as she marked a major personal milsetone. On Friday (May 9), the soap star revealed it was her 50th birthday.

She took to Instagram with some new snaps, in which she looked fabulous sporting a faux fur coat under a red mini dress. She posed for a mirrored selfie before jumping on the sofa and sticking her leg high into the air as another snap was taken. Captioning the post, Sally wrote: “Happy 50th birthday to me #birthday #love #friends #fakefurcoats.”
Joe, meanwhile, took to his own Instagram Story with a beaming picture of his wife during a sun-soaked holiday in which they could be seen enjoying a drink by the clear blue sea.
“Happy birthday to my beautiful wife, stepmother to my children and general all round gorgeous women,” the actor gushed. He then joked: “Here she is enjoying a bit of time at the bottom of the garden @sally_carman_”
Meanwhile, Sally’s co-star and off-screen bestie Vicky Myers also posted her own tribute on her pal’s special day. The DS Lisa Swain actress posted a picture of Sally posing while wearing a ‘Birthday Girl’ headband.
“Happy Birthday to the most wonderful woman!” She then shared a followed-up post in which she reshared a Christmas video confiming it was 33 Fridays until the big occasion. “Happy Birthday Christmas Queen @sally_carman_”
