ITV Coronation Street's Elle Mulvaney stuns in pink in secret soap tribute

Coronation Street star Elle Mulvaney looked ready for spring as she added a pop of colour to her latest outfit. The actress, who is best known for playing Amy Barlow, took to Instagram with a fresh-faced selfie which also paid a secret tribute to a former character on the ITV soap.
