ITV Coronation Street's Millie Gibson says she 'wants hug' from co-star as she's 'suffering'

Coronation Street star Millie Gibson was pining for support from her co-star as she shared how she was 'suffering' with illness. The actress, who plays Kelly Neelan in the ITV soap, shared her health woes after Tanisha Gorey shared a snap of them together on Instagram.

The soap star, who is known to fans for playing Corrie's Asha Alaha, took to the social media platform to share a cute selfie of the pair in a car during a recent trip to London together. Tanisha joined Millie as support when she appeared on ITV's Lorraine last week. Millie spoke to host Lorraine Kelly about her current storyline.

But she also gushed over her soap 'bestie' Tanisha. "I love my Tanisha," 18-year-old Millie said as Lorraine commented: "And she's here today!" Before Lorraine asked about their plans for the rest of their day in London before heaving to head back to Manchester for work on the Salford-based soap.

"I think that's brilliant that you're such good pals," Lorraine remarked as Millie replied: "I know, she's great. We love each other to bits." She added: "It's great to meet someone on set that you really get on with. Even though we don't have many scenes together we still see each other all the time."

And the love is very much mutual. Taking to Instagram, Tanisha shared a photo of the pair and said: "My baby always," before tagging Millie and adding two hearts. Millie was seen giving a pout to the camera as she sat next to her friend, who smiled for the camera in a halterneck white dress, in the back of a car.

Resharing the post to her own thousands of followers, Millie added: "Doh. Currently suffering with tonsilitis and just want a Tanisha hug."

Millie and Tanisha are often seen together on their individual Instagram pages. One of the more recent Instagram posts of the co-stars saw Millie write in the caption "The Mrs" in which she kisses Tanisha's cheek, while Tanisha uploaded a selfie from the same day on her account, captioned "my little love".

Following Corrie's belated Christmas/Summer party earlier this year, Tanisha, who has starred as the daughter of Dev Alahan on the cobbles since 2009, posted a snap of the pair cosying up with one another at the bash among other images from the night. She captioned the album: "Crimbo party only 4 months late :))."

In the comments section, Millie replied: "That the love of my life?!' to which Tanisha swiftly wrote back: "Always my baby," showing the pair's unbreakable bond.
