Coronation Street stars sink Champagne at Mollie Gibson's 'leaving drinks'

Coronation Street stars showed they knew how to party as they celebrated on Mollie Gibson's "leaving do".

The cast from the cobbles looked in high spirits as they sank bottles of Champagne amid claims the teen's three years on the popular soap is coming to an end.

Mollie, 18, first appeared in Weatherfield in 2019 as she took on the role of Kelly Neelan. She has since become a popular character with fans and was awarded a British Soap Award earlier in the year as she won the Best Young Performer category.

However, she's set to call time on her time on the street in what is expected to be an explosive exit storyline.

News of her exit didn't stop her enjoying a night on the tiles with her soap pals as she beamed from ear to ear after a hard day's filming. She started off by enjoying a Mr Whippy ice cream after the van visited the set in the middle of the soaring temperatures.

She took to her Instagram to share a snap of Mike North, who plays Gary Windass on Corrie, devouring an ice cream cone. In a joke towards her guardian on the soap, she captioned the pic: "Take your dad to work day."

It was "mum's" turn next as she uploaded an image of her and Samia Longchambon enjoying the sunshine. Samia, who plays Maria Windass, and Millie donned designer sunglasses as they headed off set for some well deserved post-work drinks.

Millie captioned the pic: "Taking the mum out for a drink @samia_longchambon." They were both certainly well dressed for the scorching weather. Millie donned a green, purple and blue ribbed dress, while Maria chose to wear a flowing floral sleeveless top.

The trio joined up with Corrie legends Chris Gascoyn and Daniel Brocklebank as they sipped alcohol by the water front.

It was Daniel's turn to take to social media as he shared a snap of the group and gushed: "These guys," before including a heart emoji.

Millie was still showing she was active on the platforms as she replied to the post: "Gorgeous lot." Samia also added a comment, simply replying with a heart and heart eye emoji.
