Corrie's Mollie Gallagher's life off screen from ditching goth to luxe Manchester home

Coronation Street star Mollie Gallagher first shot to fame when she stepped onto the cobbles as Nina Lucas in the ITV soap.

The 25-year-old has embarked on a new role after taking to the ice for this year's Dancing On Ice.

She will be skating with Sylvain Longchambon and is joined by a host of famous faces including Love Island's Ekin-Su Culculoglu ex footballer John Fashanu, EastEnders legend Patsy Palmer and Olympian Nile Wilson.

Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have also returned to the show, alongside Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

But what is her life like away from the rink?

Who is Mollie Gallagher?

Mollie was born in December 1997 in Salford, Manchester. She studied drama at college before she moved to London to study at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts.

While she was studying, Molly worked as a seat filler at the National Television Awards.

It's been a huge step for Mollie who actually ended up winning an award for Best Serial Drama Performance in 2021.

As well as her NTA win, she also landed an Inside Soap award in 2021.

She appears to have ditched her signature Gothic look after dying her hair blonde.

She appears to have gone for a more natural make up palette too.

Is Mollie in a relationship?

Mollie is in a relationship with Dan Myers, who is a guitarist in Manchester-based band Inego.

They have been dating for over two years and live together.

She often shares snaps of the two of them together on Instagram.

Where does Mollie live?

Mollie and Dan live together in a stunning apartment in Manchester.

Her home decor is a mixture of neutral tones and gothic wall hangings.

She often poses in the mirror of her living room which has sky-high ceilings and a velvet off-white sofa in the centre.

The living room opens into other rooms, with darker walls and various house plants dotted around.

Mollie has claimed to lack "coordination" but recent snaps of her training with Sylvain show her looking confident on the ice.

She wore a pair of black leggings and long-sleeve t shirt in the same colour as she practised a technical lift with her partner.

Mollie kept smiling as she was lifted up with one leg lifted as the pair glided around.

In another lift she was seen facing forward while Sylvain held her on his chest.

Speaking after she was added to the show's line up, she said that she was "good at keeping secrets".

"I am great at secrets. I'll give myself that," she said.

"I've not got the best co-ordination. It's really funny because everyone who knows me well, knows that. So when they find out I'm doing this...

"That's another reason why I wanted to do it. I didn't want to spend my life thinking 'oh I can't do this, I can't do that'."

"I’m really excited. I’ve not really felt nervous yet, strangely. But being here today, I am now feeling it a little bit!”

She joins the list of Coronation Street stars to skate on the show, including Sally Dynevor, Faye Brooks and Samia Longchambon.

On seeking advice from her co-stars, Mollie said: “I’ll be getting all the tips I can because I’m going to need it!”

Corrie role

Mollie made her debut in 2019 as the role of Nina Lucas, the long-lost niece of Roy Cropper.

She ended up living with Roy after the death of her father on the show.

Mollie has been involved in heavy-hitting storylines including being the victim of hate crime, which resulted in the death of her TV boyfriend Seb Franklin.

She was also met with praise by the LGBTQ+ community after she and Asha Alahan, played by Tanisha Gorey, had a relationship.
