Coronation Street fans are in for a treat if they have ever wanted to represent the soap's iconic Roy's Rolls or Rover's Return as the soap has teamed up with Joanie Clothing for a new collection.

The collaboration between the show and the Manchester-based brand will feature six items of clothing referencing some of the most well-known businesses seen on our screens across the years. The collection will also pay tribute to famous brands seen within the show over the last 63 years.

Among the items you can buy include a vintage ringer t-shirt with Roy's Rolls emblazoned in red, a tribute to Roy Cropper's iconic cafe, and a green sweatshirt featuring the Rover's Return logo, referencing the pub where we have seen plenty of drama unfold over the decades.

If fans can't choose which business they like the best, there will also be items containing multiple references such as a statement dress and shirt for the die-hard Corrie fans among us.

Those hoping to bag themselves something from the range won't have long to wait, as the collection will launch on June 21. Items range from ?25 up to ?65, so there is something to suit varying budgets. It will be available from the Joanie website, with some pieces going on sale at the Coronation Street tour gift shop too.

Katy Roberts, Head of Merch and Shops Delivery at Coronation Street, expressed excitement over the "retro" inspired range: "We are thrilled to be collaborating with Joanie on this retro Coronation Street clothing collection.

"For many viewers, the show has a warm, nostalgic feeling that perfectly aligns with Joanie's values. Working with a brand with roots in Manchester was also so important to us, and we couldn't be more proud of the collection we've created together."

Joanie Brand Director, Lucy Gledhill, explained in a statement that working on the items "has been such fun".

"I really enjoyed working with the producers to ensure the devil was in the detail ? from making sure the window lintels to the famous terrace were perfectly accurate, matching the window graphics in Dev's corner shop to ensure continuity, to making sure Norris' paperboy was standing outside the Kabin was a dream job for me. We wanted to create wearable, tongue-in-cheek products that would feel like they had come out of a vintage store rather than a gift shop."
