Coronation Street's Kelly actress Millie Gibson teases next step after ITV soap exit

Millie Gibson has teased what could be next for her following her exit from Coronation Street.

The Kelly Neelan actress is set to wave goodbye to the cobbles in dramatic scenes later this week as her anger towards Gary Windass comes to a head. Kelly, Gary, Aadi Alahan and kidnapper Kieron will all get caught up in a huge rooftop gun showdown.

It comes after Kelly offered Kieron £10,000 to kill Gary after finding out he murdered her dad, Rick, and let her dying mum take the blame for it. As a gun rings out it is unsure who the bullet has hit, but it has already been confirmed Millie will be leaving the ITV soap.

Now the actress has given an insight into what could be next for her. It seems she has not given up on acting, so we may be seeing her on screens again very soon - however she is currently enjoying a break.

She said: "I'm currently auditioning so I’m just going to see how that goes. I've got so many roles in mind.

"I'm trying to keep myself grounded but at the same time I need to bet on myself, if that makes sense. I really like dramas, I’d love to do a drama again. A period drama would be incredible – I'd have to take my lashes off!"

Millie added: "I’m looking forward to just having a bit of a break. I'm going on holiday at the end of the month with my cousin Amy and we’re going to Italy for a week. I think I’ll really need it by the time that comes around."

The actress previously explained her reason for leaving the soap. She said: "I have no responsibilities – I don’t have kids, I don’t have a mortgage to pay or anything like that, I’m still grateful to be living at home.

"So I thought I’m just going to see what else the world has. If it does, it does - that would be quite good, wouldn’t it? I just thought I might as well see what happens while I’m still young.

"Because I’m so young I thought I’ve got to leave. It was a decision where it would always be in the back of my mind if I didn’t make it, so I had to just go with it and see what happens."
