This just in from the official ITV Coronation Street website, in response to the article from today's Sun newspaper claiming Michelle Collins is set to quit Coronation Street as Stella Price.
"Actress Michelle Collins has today denied reports that she is planning to quit Coronation Street. Following a story in a national newspaper, Michelle, who plays Rovers landlady Stella Price, said she is enjoying working on the show.
Michelle
said: "I am very happy working on Coronation Street and have no plans
to leave the show. I have recently signed a new contract for another 12
months and have not said I'm planning to leave the show after that time.
I'm really enjoying playing Stella and have made some firm friends on
the cast.
"There
are a lot of exciting storylines in the pipeline for Stella, including
the recent casting of Sue Johnston as her mum, and I'm relishing the
chance to be part of such an amazing show."
Oh.
