Corrie star Millie Gibson has declared her co-star Tanisha Gorey the "love of her life" as they celebrated a belated work Christmas party.
The 17-year-old - who plays Kelly Neelan in the soap - glammed up for a fun night out with her team at Manchester's Science and Industry Museum over the weekend.
They all got together to dance the night away as they took their minds off of the cobbles.
Tanisha posted a snap with her pal Millie, which she captioned: "Crimbo party only 4 months late :))"
In the comments section, Millie wrote: "That the love of my life?!"
Tanisha wrote back: "Always my baby."
The two girls were complimented by their fans, with many saying how gorgeous they looked for the party.
Millie has been on the soap since 2019 and has previously spoke about how her northern accent helped her bag the role.
She trained at the Oldham Theatre Workshop from 11 and has a natural northern accent.
But screen teen Kelly attended private school and Millie feared she might have to fettle some pronunciations.
She explained: "There were lots of girls in the waiting room that looked nothing like me.
"They were all quite well-spoken and I’ve got a bit of a Manc twang in my voice so I was a bit like, ‘Oh no, am I going to have to play her in a different way?’
"But in the end I didn’t because my take on Kelly was while she was a private schoolgirl, I knew she did not quite fit in as the rest of them. So I think not having that well-spoken, posh put-together voice worked quite well."
Despite her tender age, Millie has been at the centre of one of Coronation Street ’s most tragic storylines – the murder of Seb Franklin, based on the real-life hate crime killing of Sophie Lancaster, 20, in a park in 2007.
The young star got her break in 2018 ITV drama Butterfly, playing Lily Duffy alongside Anna Friel – who has become a mentor to Millie.
The teen explains: "Butterfly was such a beautiful show to work on. Anna’s lovely and she taught me a lot.
"Everything she wanted to achieve in the scene she achieved, so she was very determined in that sense and it was really amazing watching her work.
"I think everything that she brought to the set and what I observed from my experience in every job I have done I have always taken with me."
