The lovely Alfie Moon and his wife Kat are telly's top Valentine's couple - despite the fact that they are no longer together.

Viewers voted the former Queen Vic manager, played by Shane Richie, and his hot-headed barmaid, played by Jessie Wallace, as the best on-screen couple.

In second place in the Soaplife magazine poll were Emmerdale's Marlon and Tricia Dingle, played by Mark Charnock and Sheree Murphy, even though Tricia died in storms last year.

Steve and Karen McDonald from Corrie, played by Simon Gregson and Suranne Jones, came in third in the poll ahead of Valentine's Day on Monday.

Emmerdale's Terry Woods and his lover, Woolpack landlady Louise Appleton, played by Billy Hartman and Emily Symons, took the fourth spot.

And vicar Ashley Thomas' proposal to cleaner Laurel Potts pushed the Dales couple, played by John Middleton and Charlotte Bellamy, into fifth place.
