Millie Gibson was an "emotional wreck" while shooting her final scenes on 'Coronation Street'.
Millie Gibson on her final days at Corrie
The 18-year-old actress has starred as Kelly Neelan on the ITV soap since 2019, but is to exit the show in a rooftop showdown with bad boy Gary Windass (Mikey North) - after discovering he killed her father - and Millie was "crying constantly" for a fortnight in the run up to her final scenes.
She said: "I've been a wreck! If you ask anyone, there was a good two weeks where I was just crying constantly. I think I was just so overwhelmed and so grateful of the scenes and the storyline that had been given to me!"
The former 'Jamie Johnson' star went on to explain that a standout scene for her was with actor Mikey, because she realised it was the "beginning of the end" for her character.
She said: "There was a specific scene that sticks out to me where basically, throughout mine and Gary's relationship, we've never hugged. We've always been like, 'Why've you never hugged me? Even when I'm breaking down in a basement, you've never hugged me!'
"But there was a scene where Gary hugs Kelly, and it's a really simple scene. As soon as we did it, I just burst out crying. It was just like, 'It's the beginning of the end now!'
"I think when we started filming our last scenes of being nice to each other, that's when we were like, 'Oh, gosh, this is getting real now!' It's been an emotional journey."
Millie's exit scenes are due to air later this month.
