Coronation Street stars Katherine Kelly and Julie Hesmondhalgh reunite

Katherine Kelly left the cobbles as Becky McDonald back in 2012, with Julie Kesmondhalgh’s character Hayley Cropper ending her own life during a cancer battle in 2014.

On-screen, Becky and Hayley were very close, with Hayley and Roy acting like family to the troubled woman and helping her find her feet in Weatherfield.

Now, 13 years after they last worked together on Coronation Street, Katherine and Julie have reunited once more.

Posting a series of photos to her Instagram feed, Katherine Kelly shared an image of both herself and Julie smiling together. Other photos then saw them working in a recording studio.

She captioned the post: “A day spent with one of my FAVOURITE human beings deserves a place on the grid @jhesmondhalgh.”
