ITV Coronation Street star Millie Gibson sips champagne with soap 'mum and dad' amid exit rumours

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Coronation Street star Millie Gibson was all smiles as she grasped onto an ice bucket with a bottle of champagne firmly tucked inside during a night out with her co-stars who she sweetly dubbed her 'mum and dad'.

The actress, who plays Kelly Neelan in the ITV soap, took to Instagram earlier in the day to show herself in the Corrie dressing room amid rumours she has quit the soap. Millie is reported to be leaving the cobbles months after picking up her first major award. And the 18-year-old is rumoured to be bowing out of the soap in an "explosive" storyline later this year.

In the meantime, she's still heading to the Salford-based set to film and shared a snap from inside her dressing room. It showed a brew and a Love Island bottle with 'Gibbo' written in pink just like the dating show's islanders. "No place like home," she penned with the time stamp 9.47am.

A few hours later she returned to her Instagram Story to share a snap of co-star Mikey North after they had just popped out to get an ice cream. Corrie has previously brought in an ice cream van to keep its stars and crew cool during the sweltering temperatures being felt across much of the country.

"Take your dad to work day," Millie penned as the snap showed Mikey, who plays her guardian Gary Windass in the soap, with a 99 with a flake in hand as he gave a look to the camera through his tortoiseshell shades. Millie had also picked up a cone of Mr Whippy ice cream which she too topped with a flake and some added strawberry sauce.

But once the working day was done, Millie, from Broadbottom, grabbed Samia Longchambon and the pair headed for some after work drinks.
