CORONATION Street actress Millie Gibson has been soaking up the sun in an array of bikinis after jetting to the Philippines.
The star, who played Kelly Neelan in the ITV soap, has snapped a slew of photos of herself in southeast Asia and it couldn’t look more different to grey-skied Weatherfield.

In one sizzling photo, Millie is sporting a skimpy leopard print two-piece, which she has teamed with a matching hat, and she’s wearing a pretty yellow one in another.
Other pictures show her embracing her boho side, with a blue patterned bikini top and coordinating headscarf.
Millie, who more recently took on the role of Ruby Sunday in Doctor Who, has even been pictured floating on her back in a glorious turquoise river.
Posting her idyllic holiday snaps on Instagram, the star told her followers: “Rockin around the Philippines.”
Fans have been quick to comment, with many making reference to her most recent job on Doctor Who.
One said: “Managing to travel around even without a Tardis. Great to see.”
Another added: “The prettiest Doctor Who companion so far.”
A third told her: “Absolutely beautiful, Millie.”
And someone else even mused: “That Ruby Sunday pay day from the BBC treating her well.”
Millie starred as Kelly Neelan in Corrie from 2019 to 2022 and was involved in several big storylines.
Her character was blamed for the death of Sebastian Franklin (Harry Visinoni) after a hate crime attack.
Kelly’s boyfriend at the time lied to the police and in the trial where she was wrongly blamed for the murder.
She left Coronation Street before landing the role of Ruby Sunday in Doctor Who.
Millie made her debut in 2023 as the Doctor’s fifteenth companion, starring alongside Sex Education‘s Ncuti Gatwa.
However, the actress was axed after just one series and has been replaced by Varada Sethu, who will make her first appearance when Doctor Who returns this year.
Corrie cash crisis: shock exits for 2025
ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap.
This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama.
Colson Smith – Craig Tinker
The character of Craig Tinker has been axed by bosses after 14 years. After he was told of the news in Autumn 2024, Colson Smith confirmed that would be written out of the show with scenes to air later this year. Craig’s on-screen mum, Beth Tinker, also left the show in the summer when actress Lisa George was written out from the role.
Sue Cleaver – Eileen Grimshaw
After 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw, former I’m A Celebrity campmate Sue Cleaver will quit the show. The Sun on Sunday reported in January that she’s already begun to film her exit scenes. However the character will not be killed off in case Sue opts to make a return in the future.
Luca Toolan – Mason Radcliffe
Bosses decided to axe the teenage character after just 16 months after he first joined the show. Recent scenes saw Mason stabbed by his criminal brothers after his pal Dylan brought a knife in an attempt to defend him.
Sue Devaney – Debbie Webster
In November 2024, we revealed that Debbie Webster is set to be killed off after 40 years on the cobbles. The character will die as part of a heartbreaking long-running dementia storyline.
Charlotte Jordan – Daisy Midgeley
The actress became the fifth star to leave Coronation Street in just one month. We revealed that she will bow out of the ITV soap later this year after four years on-screen. Charlotte told sources that she’s hungry to see what other opportunities await.
Shelley King – Yasmeen Metcalfe
The actress has played Yasmeen Metcalfe on the cobbles for the past 11 years and we revealed in January that she finished filming her final scenes. This follows the departure of her on-screen partner Stu Carpenter.
An insider previously told The Mirror that show-runner Russell T Davies had written Millie out of future scrips.
The source said: “Millie Gibson has all but left now and there’s a brand new companion, which is really exciting.
“Russell is keeping things moving and isn’t letting the grass grow, that’s for sure.”
