Corrie star Lucy Fallon has left the cobbles of Weatherfield behind to see in the new year with a trip to New York - and it looks incredible.
Lucy, who plays soap favourite Bethany Platt in Coronation Street, has been sharing photos and video clips of her break with fans on Instagram.
The 24-year-old actress' sightseeing visit has included the Brooklyn neighbourhood DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), where she stopped for a coffee.
Posting a snap of herself raising her espresso cup in a cafe, she wrote: "Waiting for my F.R.I.E.N.D.S in Central Perk like..."
Lucy also visited Strawberry Fields, the John Lennon memorial in Central Park which has become a pilgrimage for Beatles fans alike.
Lucy, who is leaving Corrie this year after five years of playing Bethany in the soap , is in New York with her boyfriend Tom Leech.
The Blackpool native has been involved in a host of dramatic Corrie storylines, including schoolgirl Bethany being raped and groomed by manipulative Nathan Curtis and his sordid gang of friends.
Lucy scooped two awards at the British Soap Awards in 2018 for Best Female Dramatic performance and Best Actress.
Announcing her decision to leave, Lucy wrote in a statement on Twitter earlier this year: "After the most incredible four years, I have made the extremely difficult decision to leave Coronation Street at the end of my contract in 2020.
"It's hard to put into words how much this show means to me.
"I've made lifelong friends with some of the most talented and hardworking people in the industry, I've had some terrific and immensely important storylines and I've laughed with the best people everyday.
"I'm so thankful to Iain (Corrie boss Iain MacLeod) and everyone at Coronation Street, I owe everything to them and I will miss them greatly.
"Thank you so much for your support and love... can't wait to see what's in store for Bethany this year."
Bethany recently caused upset by growing closer to Daniel Osbourne while his wife Sinead was dying.
After Sinead passed away the pair have attempted to keep their distance, but Daniel was distraught when he thought she had been shot in the Christmas Day siege.
