Coronation Street star Katherine Kelly reveals that fans of the soap are in for a treat when Becky McDonald leaves the street next week.

Becky’s exit will be explosive after she ruins Steve and Tracy’s wedding day by revealing the truth about toxic Tracy’s wicked lies.

The bolshy barmaid will be leaving the cobbles afterwards, but she has a big decision to make – will she sail off into the sunset with boyfriend Danny for a new life in Barbados or head off alone to pick up the pieces of her life?

Speaking to the Worksop Guardian, Katherine revealed: "I think it's just not the ending that you maybe would expect. I certainly didn't expect it. I know they were wrestling for ages with what to do with her.

"The joy of Becky is that she's always been able to do everything at any point, and you never really know which way she's going to go. She's been through so many twists and turns.

For me, it would have been completely believable if her final episodes would have been her on a park bench high as a kite! Because why not?

"It could have been anything, really. But the ending that they chose and they wrote is really fitting and I hope it's what the nation would want for her. It's certainly what I would want for her. Hopefully it just wasn't too predictable."
