Her mum Laura died of terminal cancer after confessing to killing her ex Rick in an effort to make sure Kelly would inherit Rick’s estate. 

Viewers know Gary Windass actually killed Rick but Kelly has no idea.

And in tonight’s episode Rick’s solicitor visited her to tell her about what she could expect to inherit from him.

“In short as executor of your father’s will, I can tell you you are the sole beneficiary of his entire estate,” he told her and Gary.

“It will take a little longer until the exact details are clear, Mr Neelan was involved in numerous businesses.”

As Gary pushed him into giving a figure, the solicitor did and it was shocking.

He told them: “There’s also a property involved and that would need to be valued but I would estimate somewhere in the region of £380,000.”

But despite the huge amount that could set her up for life, Kelly didn’t want the money.

She said: “I don’t want money that’s come from other people’s misery, I really don’t.”

Fans couldn’t believe that Kelly would turn down the cash.

One wrote: “Kelly wasn’t expecting that!! Why isn’t she taking the money?? That’s crazy!”

A second said: “£380 thousand?! Holy cow!”

Another added: “Kelly is breaking Me heart.”
