Coronation Street star Millie Gibson has said she was left 'a blubbering mess' over Nina Lucas' hate crime attack as she and her co-stars discussed the soap storyline.
Speaking to The Mirror on Thursday, the actress, 16, who plays Kelly Neelan spoke about Wednesday's episode, which saw Nina and her boyfriend Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni) get attacked by a gang of thugs who shout abuse about her goth identity.
The storyline has many similarities to what happened to Sophie Lancaster, who was murdered in a Lancashire park in 2007, and the soap has worked with a foundation set up by the late 20-year-old's mother Dr Sylvia Lancaster OBE.
