Oh, it's a cutie. Wet nose, shiny coat, eager to please and lovable. But enough about Steve McDonald, what about his new little dog that turned up on Coronation Street last night?

Actor Simon Gregson's wife, Emma Gleave, posted on twitter last night that the dog starring in Corrie is actually a family pet.  Simon Gregson also posted confirmation to twitter:

Cookie AKA rover is our dog yes to those asking and yes she is now a diva and yes she's single but not looking for anyone just yet

If you follow Emma on twitter  she has posted more pics of the dog at home.  The dog is a "she" not an "it" as was pointed out on Corrie last night and at home anyway, her name is Cookie. In the show, the dog will be named Rover

How lovely!
