Coronation Street’s Millie Gibson cuddles up to co-star Mikey North in Canada as they visit Niagara Falls
CORONATION Street’s Millie Gibson and Mikey North are lapping up the sights of Niagra Falls while on a break from work, heading off on a zipline trip across the iconic North American landmark.
Millie, who recently ended her four-year stint on the ITV soap as Kelly Neelan, proved quite the adrenaline junkie as she reunited with former co-star Mikey (who plays Gary Windass) on the trip of a lifetime.
The pair cuddled up for some photos together before making the epic long-glide over the Falls, travelling 2,200 ft in the air to the other side.
The once-in-a-lifetime experience was taken as the pair did a press tour around Canada.
To UK viewers, Millie left Coronation Street in suitably dramatic fashion at the end of September, when Kelly survived a kidnap and nailbiting rooftop murder attempt.
Kelly had planned to exact revenge on her guardian Gary, who she discovered had killed her dad Rick Neelan years prior. However, the henchman she hired went rogue when she attempted to get out of the deal.
The ensuing fallout resulted in Kelly’s fiancé Aadi getting shot trying to protect her, and a devastated Kelly decided to call off the engagement and start a new life away from Weatherfield rather than drag him into her “toxic” life.
As she said goodbye to the show, Millie posted a goodbye message from the rooftop on Instagram, holding a clapperboard as she posed for one final photograph.

She wrote alongside it: “It’s with a very heavy, but full heart that it is time to say goodbye to Kelly Neelan. These past 4 years have been like no other and I can’t begin to describe how much I’m going to miss this place and the people in it.
“Everyone that has been a part of this storyline has been nothing but incredible and I couldn’t have asked for a better block to end on. I’ve had the honour of being surrounded by such talent and kindness over the years and have met friends and a second family for life.
“I’ll never forget my time here or the memories it has given me. I can’t say thank you enough for letting me be a small piece of the Coronation Street family. Bye for now, Kel.”
The official Coronation Street page responded: “We love this! Hopefully see Kelly one day again soon xx”
