Coronation Street's Millie Gibson showed off her chic style in a slinky slip dress as she was papped enjoying a day off from filming.
Millie is best known to fans of the ITV soap as troubled teen Kelly Neelan, the daughter of notorious loan shark Rick Neelan.
However, this weekend Millie, 17, took a well-deserved break from her day job to enjoy a lunch with pals in Manchester city centre.
The actress looked stunning in a blue strappy midi dress which she set off with some chunky gold jewellery, including a personalised 'M' chain around her neck.
Since joining Corrie in 2019, Millie has been at the heart of many of the soap's hard-hitting storylines.
In May Millie said she was 'over the moon' to sign a permanent contract with the soap after impressing as teen tearaway Kelly.
In recent weeks, viewers have seen Kelly open up about being subjected to horrific abuse at the hands of her biological mother.
Kelly is currently in prison on remand for the murder of Seb and the attack on his girlfriend Nina after Corey Brent framed her for the crime.
During a chat with her social worker, Kelly told how her mother would beat her and neglect her for days on end.
"That was when she was on one," she explained.
Asked to elaborate, Kelly went on: "On a comedown or a bender, off with some bloke she'd just met or sometimes all three.
"When that happened I just tried to stay out of her way, or she’d lash out."
The scenes also saw Kelly explain the reason behind the noticeable scar in her eyebrow.
"She’d hit me, or push me. And she gave me this scar. That was the day she had a fat rock on her finger," she said.
In real life, actress Millie has previously shared the story behind her split eyebrow.
The permanent mark was caused by an injury she picked up when she was a toddler.
She told Digital Spy: ""It is a scar! My dad gets always gets frustrated with comments like that, because people are like, 'Oh no, she's put it in herself. Trust me, she's put it in herself.' My dad's like, 'No she's not!'
"It was when I was younger, I was about 2 or 3. In all of my baby pictures, I look like a right thug! I was running and I just whacked my head on the corner of the bannister and apparently my head was just massive.
"It's never really healed but I kind of like it! It definitely works for the character."
Millie went on to say playing troubled Kelly could be a 'challenge' but she was embracing her bolshy ways.
"I'm not as confident as Kelly. How she speaks to people, it's really fun. But at the same time, she always gets in the wrong place at the wrong time."
