First arrived in the Street
2004: Kelly has worked at the factory for years, but it was only when she ditched her fiance that she came to the attention of Coronation Street viewers.

Character reference
Brash and bolshy, Kelly is the sort of girl who goes for what she wants and rarely thinks of the consequences of her actions.

Love life
Leggy Kelly has never been short of admirers, but her suitors have rarely lived up to her expectations. She first jumped on boss Danny Baldwin, knowing full well that his wife, Frankie, had just taken him back.

Always one for a challenge, Kelly tried to seduce gay best friend Sean Tully but obviously failed to persuade the barman to change his ways.

The one big love of her life was Lloyd Mullaney but she blew that when she slept with his best friend, Steve McDonald while they were on a break.

However, Kelly couldn't be kept down for long and she threw herself back into life at Underworld and enjoyed flirting up a storm with hunky new boss Liam Connor.

Dicing with death
Kelly came close to harm when she was mugged and left seriously traumatised after winning money on a scratch card.

Memorable scene
Kelly suffered when Becky Grainger returned to her life. Kelly knew Becky while in a young offenders’ institute but had hoped her past was behind forgotten. But Becky was to haunt her and turn her life upside down by trying to frame her for theft.

What next?
Hot-headed Kelly is always looking for a man, especially if they have a bob or two. She’s certain to get herself into some scrapes but maybe she will find true love one day.
