ITV Coronation Street's Elle Mulvaney stuns in pink in secret soap tribute

Coronation Street star Elle Mulvaney looked ready for spring as she added a pop of colour to her latest outfit. The actress, who is best known for playing Amy Barlow, took to Instagram with a fresh-faced selfie which also paid a secret tribute to a former character on the ITV soap.

The 19-year-old posed for the selfie outside as a glimmer of the sun could be seen hitting her brunette locks. She gave a gentle smize for the camera as she rocked a hot pink blazer over a white t-shirt.

It appeared that Elle had accessorised her look with a bag featuring a chunky chain strap but the rest of her look couldn't be seen in the photo.

Captioning her post to her thousands of followers on her Instagram Story, the teenage soap star said: "Having a bit of an Emma moment," before adding a string of pink heart emojis and tagging former co-star Alexandra Mardell.

Of course, Elle was referring to her pink-wearing, on-screen half-sister Emma Brooker, who was played by Alexandra for four years up until her exit last month. The bubbly barmaid said an emotional goodbye to her friends and family as she headed off to start a new life in Australia with her soulmate Jon Spear.

Following her exit scenes, Alexandra, 28, thanked fans in a video message for their support and said 'goodbye for now.' "I really have had the best time of my life and I'm so, so grateful," she said. "Goodbye for now and lots of love." Alexandra, who arrived on the famous street as Emma in April 2018, previously said about Emma's exit while keeping the final scenes under wraps: "I'm happy definitely. Yep. It is the right ending."

Elle's message came after she wished her older brother a happy birthday. Sharing a photo from a New Year's Eve wedding they attended in December 2019, the siblings were seen posing with another member of the family. The Corrie stars looked like a bronzed goddess, rocking a tan in a brown co-ord outfit while brother Jack looked dapper in a three-piece suit.

Last weekend Elle looked worlds away from her street character as she glammed up alongside on-screen bestie Harriet Bibby, who plays Summer Spellman in the ITV soap. The pair got ready together for Corrie's Spring party - or delayed Christmas party as some of the programme's stars called it.

The duo showed off their fun, young side as Elle shared a TikTok video of herself and Harriet going from their casual looks to being ready for their big night out, all set to Lizzo's new track, About Damn Time. "I don’t know how to make tiktoks, neither does harriet. Here we are," Elle shared alongside the video followed by a heart emoji.

Elle, 19, was first seen wearing a pair of green jogging bottoms and a white halter neck top while Harriet, who recently celebrated her 24th birthday, was sipping on her hot drink in a jumper emblazoned with the American flag and a pair of checked trousers.

As the music changed, the pair transformed with Elle donning a stylish, cut-out black dress with neon yellow and green eye shadow and her brunette locks into a curly blow-dried hairdo. Harriet, however, added a pop of colour as she wore a strapless red dress, adding gold sparkly eyeshadow and a bold red lipstick to her look as her blonde locks flowed in Hollywood waves.
