Corrie star jokes there's a 'Neelan brother' as Weatherfield's bad boy and girl team up

Coronation Street star Kel Allen has joked that there's a 'Neelan brother' as Weatherfield's bad boy and girl team up.

Fans of the ITV soap should now be familiar with Laura Neelan and her daughter Kelly.

Teenage tearaway Kelly is currently awaiting trial after being charged with the murder of Seb Franklin.

Seb and girlfriend Nina were set upon by Kelly, Corey Brent and his gang of mates as they walked along the canal.

Corey will also face trial for the hate crime with the heartbreaking scenes recently being filmed in Bolton.

Corrie viewers have also recently seen Laura arrested on suspicion of child cruelty after Kelly confessed all about her childhood with her social worker.

In emotional scenes the teen spoke about how her mum would knock her about and then go missing for days.

Kelly, who is now fostered by Imran Habeeb and Toyah Battersby, also explained the shocking reason for her distinctive eyebrow scar.

But the group are good pals off-screen as Corey actor Maximus Evans and Kelly star Millie Gibson recently proved.

Mille, 17, and Maximus, 19, met up for an off-set drink with Millie sharing a retro-style snap of the pair on Instagram.

"Partner in crime..." the teen wrote alongside the image which sees Maximus give a small smile as she looks directly into the camera and Millie looks to him in a trilby-style hat.

And among the first to comment was Kel, who portrays Corrie's Laura.

She joked: "Meet your new Neelan brother," before adding: "Hope you’re having the best night cutie pies."

Georgia Taylor, who plays Kelly's foster mum Toyah Battersby also echoed Kel's comment, simply writing: "Cuties."

Millie was quick to reply, adding: "@realgeorgiataylor haha! Still needing a foster family pic with us three @charliedemelo."

Fans were also filling up the comments section, sharing their delight at seeing the actors together.

"This is the most iconic photo ever," one said.

Another commented: "It’s Kelly and Corey [shocked emoji]."

"Weatherfields most wanted," a third joked.

A fourth stunned fan added: "Kelly and Corey didn’t see that one coming."

"My two favourites in one picture @milliegibbo," another gushed.
