ITV Coronation Street's Millie Gibson stuns in plunging white dress as she swaps cobbles for Italy

Coronation Street star Millie Gibson showed off her first inking as she took in the sights while on her Italian break. The actress, known for playing Kelly Neelan in the ITV soap, has swapped Weatherfield for northern Sardinia after filming her final scenes for the show.

The 18-year-old was joined by her Corrie pals last month as they said farewell to their young co-star at her packed leaving bash on Salford Quays. Many of the soap's favourites were pictured as they headed to The Alchemist bar in a series of glam ensembles.

Millie has been a huge hit since joining the show two years ago as Kelly. And in June she won a prestigious British Soap Award for Best Newcomer for her work on the soap. Her character has been embroiled in some of the show's most dramatic ever scenes since arriving as the troubled teen tearaway. That included her part in the horrifying assault of Seb Franklin in the soap's hate crime storyline and ensuing dramatic court case.

While her exit hasn't officially been confirmed yet, Millie is expected to be leaving in an "explosive" storyline later this year. Taking to her Instagram Story to mark the end of the month, the teen shared a series of photos and said: "Last month on the cobbles..."

One picture showed Millie sat in the make-up chair at the soap's Salford-based ITV studio. She could be seen donning a cute blue top and comfy blue shorts as one of the show's make-up artist worked her magic. Her blonde locks looking luscious as they fell in curls down her back with little plaits at the front framing her face.
