Speaking to The Sun, she explained: “We all found that we instantly became this close-knit group of friends. We all join together. We showed newcomer James Craven (who plays Aaron Sandford) the best places to go out in Manchester. We took him to all the clubs!’

Elle’s character has just moved into a shared apartment with her boyfriend Jacob Hay and her best buddies Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) and Aaron, and the group is getting bigger storylines now that they’re older.

She described: “We all said it’s like we’re on Friends! We call it our little friends spin-off. I think it’s so cool that I’ve been here for so long. Even if people don’t see it when I say, “I’m Ken’s granddaughter,” they always know who he is. The Barlows are Coronation Street.”
When asked who was the wildest of a night out, she explained that it was Jack James Ryan, 26, who plays Jacob Hay.
