WHEN soap star couple Anna Brecon and Stephen Beckett make their next public appearance in Bolton they are bound to be full of hot air . . .
The pair will appear on the town hall steps on Saturday to release 500 balloons -- and start a high flying race.
Anna, who plays Emmerdale's Lady Tara, and Stephen, who appears as Coronation Street's Dr Matt Ramsden, met while starring in The Blue Room at Bolton Octagon.
Their appearance on Saturday will also be on behalf of the theatre.
The helium filled balloons they release will publicise the Octagon's next production, The Snow Queen, which begins its run on Thursday, December 6.
At 2pm, 450 blue balloons will be released, and a further 50 red ones. Whoever manages to find a red balloon wins a family ticket to the Octagon's Christmas show.
The Octagon bosses are also searching for the balloon which travels the furthest.
A spokesman said: "We are interested to see how far the balloons travel.
"Whoever finds the one which travels to the furthest destination will also win a family ticket to the show."
