Coronation Street's Millie Gibson's real age and life off the cobbles

Coronation Street's Millie Gibson has already scooped her first acting award after her run of dramatic storylines.

Her character Kelly Neelan first joined the ITV soap in 2019 as a struggling teenager who was accused of murder.

But what about Millie's story off the cobbles? We take a look into the young actor's career and life so far.

Millie, who hails from Broadbottom, scooped her first prestigious award at the British Soap Awards.

The theatre group that Millie was a part of proudly took to Instagram.

Oldham Theatre Workshop shared a snap of her collecting her award with the caption: "We are so incredibly proud of our @milliegibbo for winning Best Young Performer at the #britishsoapawards for her outstanding performance in @coronationstreet."

Mille replied: "Forever thanking you!"

Just after her big win she turned 18, where she celebrated with several of her Coronation Street co-stars.

She wore a stunning red gown with a plunging neckline that had ruffles wrapping across it.

The teenager stood in front of a huge balloon display and a giant 18 LED sign.

After she was named Best Young Performer at the ceremony, she said that she had been "unbelievably lucky" to have been given the "most hard-hitting and compelling" storylines.

Millie's character Kelly was made homeless after she was cleared of Seb Franklin's murder.

Before Corrie she starred in ITV drama Butterfly, which followed the story of 11-year-old Max who wished to live as a girl.

She played Lily, Max's sister, alongside Anna Friel and former Hollyoaks star Emmett J Scanlan as Max's parents.

Her first role on TV was in an episode of Love, Lies and Records and her big break came after she was cast in kids show Jamie Johnson on CBBC.

While it's not clear if she has a partner off screen, she and Tanisha Gorey, who plays Dev Alahan's daughter, have a lot of love for eachother.
