Coronation Street star addresses future after 15 years on the cobbles
The long-serving soap star opened up about their future on the ITV soap, leaving fans wondering if ANOTHER shock exit could be on the cards.
Coronation Street’s Elle Mulvaney has revealed she’s not going anywhere – and even joked she’s got her sights set on beating soap legend Bill Roache’s 65-year reign on the cobbles.
Elle, 22, said: “Bill, we have spent 15 years together. They are more than colleagues, they do become a part of your family.
“It’s quite the challenge to beat. I am young enough to do it, I guess. It must be incredible for someone to be here 65 years.
“All the stories he must have done and all the people he must have met.
“Who knows what the future will bring? But right now I am loving Corrie more than ever and have no plans to leave, so long as they still want me.”
The actress, who’s played Amy Barlow since she was just seven, first rocked up to Weatherfield in 2010 and has become a firm fan favourite ever since.
She’s been at the heart of huge storylines – from her harrowing rape and spiking ordeal to being brainwashed by The Institute.
The star added: “I still can’t believe I have been there for 15 years. It’s hard to describe because in one way it feels that long but in another way it doesn’t.
“I joined when I was just seven and I’m now 22. I was just a young kid. I am so fortunate though. I still love Corrie, where I work and everyone I work with. I am just really lucky.”
While she’s staying put on the cobbles for now, Elle has her sights set on a different kind of drama.
The actress confessed she’d love to swap Weatherfield for the wild and have a crack at I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Elle revealed: “Simon [Gregson], who plays my dad, did it and loved it. Bev Callard, who played my nan, also did it so we have a family tradition,” she said.
