Coronation Street star Elle Mulvaney branded 'unrecognisable' as she looks far cry from cobbles and twins with co-star at awards

Coronation Street fans were left baffled as Elle Mulvaney made an unrecognisable appearance alongside her co-stars. The Amy Barlow actress joined a number of her ITV soap castmates as they ditched Manchester for London where the Inside Soap Awards 2023 were taking place on Monday night (September 25).

EastEnders dominated at the latest awards ceremony, taking home six gongs out of a possible 15 – including the award for best soap. But Corrie's Dame Maureen Lipman was awarded best comic performance, which was previously announced, for her role as Evelyn Plummer; and Todd Boyce was named best villain for his portrayal of Stephen Reid – the soap’s serial killer.

Best newcomer was awarded to the show's Channique Sterling-Brown, who plays solicitor Dee-Dee Bailey and the best showstopper, for a showcase stunt or episode, was awarded for the acid attack story which aired earlier this year and involved actors Charlotte Jordan, Ryan Prescott and Andrew Still.

Out to pick up the silverware to bring back to the Salford-based set alongside Elle was Channique, Todd, Ryan and Charlotte as well a Tina O'Brien. And while the group were seen posing up a storm in pictures shared to Corrie's social media pages, it was Elle who caught their attention as fans seemingly didn't recognise her.

@reginajasaitis asked: "Is that "Amy" in the black leather jacket?" After confirmation, @paulanorcal commented: "Unrecognizable." @c_susan_8 replied: "Crikey I thought it was Faye who's just left." @janetjeans shared: "Oh gosh yes !! They scrub up well don't they lol."
