Corrie star Elle Mulvaney shares 'wholesome' memory with late soap legend

Coronation Street star Elle Mulvaney has shared a 'wholesome' memory she'll never forget with a late soap legend.

The actress is best known to viewers from playing Amy Barlow in the ITV soap.

And thanks to her role, she's been able to work with some of the show's biggest stars.

Elle, who was seven when she took over the role of Amy from Amber Chadwick, has now recalled one of her earliest memories on the famous cobbles.

Asked about her favourite memory on Corrie so far, the 19-year-old told OK : "It was probably my first day, sitting on Anne Kirkbride’s [the late actress who played Deirdre Barlow] knee.

"It’s such a wholesome memory. I was seven but I remember it so well."

Elle admitted to not understanding the "magnitude of everything" at the time adding to the magazine: "It's only now when you think, 'Wow! I was so young meeting these people.'

"It’s insane, really.

The Bury-born star has been part of some major storyline over the years and has recently been seen teaming up with the soap's female teens as they took a stand against Weatherfield High's response to upskirting.

But she's soon going to get a new love interest in the form of bad boy Jacob Hay.

Jacob was part of a gang running drugs under the cover of food deliveries and he roped in Amy's cousin Simon to work with him for drugs lord Harvey Gaskell.

Simon's mum Leanne Battersby became an informant for the police, helping to put Harvey behind bars before he escaped prison to seek revenge on the family, shooting dead Natasha Blakeman in a case of mistaken identity.

But Corrie viewers will see Jacob strike up a relationship with Amy, despite what he did to her cousin.

And the soap's exectuive producer has already teased a 'Meet the Parents' inspired storyline - done Corrie style - for Elle and her on-screen parents Tracy and Steve, played by Kate Ford and Simon Gregson.
