Corrie's Millie Gibson enjoys day of pampering with co-star after quitting soap

Corrie stars Millie Gibson and Tanisha Gorey enjoyed a pamper session together ahead of the National Television Awards later this week.

The soap stars stepped out together in Manchester to visit Evelyn House of Hair and Beauty to get a pedicure before the star-studded event on Thursday [October 13], with Millie - who recently announced her departure from the ITV soap - taking to social media to share snippets of their outing.

The 18-year-old star, who last month shared her plans for life after Corrie, looked chic and stylish as she rocked a brown leather trench coat and matching knee-high boots for the trip out with her co-star - completing her ensemble with a beige knitted minidress, a black handbag and sunglasses.

Tanisha, 20, cut an equally stylish figure during their day out in Manchester, wearing an all-black outfit consisting of a black minidress, a baggy jacket and statement boots - mixing things up with a white bag flung over her shoulders and long white socks peeping out over her boots.

Millie took to her Instagram Stories as they got their feet done at the basin at the Manchester salon, telling her followers: "Pamper Day... Getting ready @Officialntas [National Television Awards]."

The 27th National Television Awards will be held on Thursday at the Wembley Arena and hosted by Joel Dommett once again. The swanky bash had been due to take place Thursday 15 September but was rescheduled due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II days before the event was originally set to take to place.

The two Corrie stars enjoying a day out together comes as viewers of the ITV soap prepare to bid farewell to Kelly Neelan, as actress Millie quits the show after three-years on the cobbles.

Spilling the beans on her decision to quit Corrie, Millie explained last month: "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," Millie told The Mirror.

The teenager went on: "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."

Millie joined the cast of Coronation Street back in 2019 as the daughter Rick Neelan (Greg Wood), before becoming a regular star on the ITV soap in 2020 - and even winning a National Soap Award for her performance in the soap.

The star now has set her sights on other acting roles after her involvement in some of the most dramatic storylines on the cobbles in recent years.

The actress is keen to follow in the footsteps of other former Corrie stars (ITV)

"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," she admitted when discuss what the future holds for her.

"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!"

As this careers of former Coronation Street stars including Katherine Kelly, Suranne Jones and Michelle Keegan, were mentioned, Millie admitted she would love to have a similar career arc to theirs.

"They’ve had such incredible careers. For me to have a quarter of their career would be incredible. I’d love that," she added.
