BBC Radio 1 DJ Gemma Cairney was broadcasting live from the Coronation Street set in Manchester yesterday.
Gem chats with Antony Cotton (Sean), Sam Aston (Chesney) and Holly Quin-Akrah (Cheryl) in the Rovers Return and Graeme Hawley talks about his on-screen murder spree as John Stape. Corrie half-sisters Katherine Kelly (Becky) and Paula Lane (Kylie) chat about why Katherine is leaving after five years, how Becky will be written out and her future plans. Samia Smith talks about her 11 years playing Maria and how she feels about the paparazzi attention. Teen couple Sacha Parkinson (Sian) and Brooke Vincent (Sophie) get very excited about Nicki Minaj and life in general.
Listen to it here (but be quick before it goes off line!) The Corrie bit kicks in at around the seven minute mark. There's also a photo gallery from the set here.
