Coronation Street actress Katherine Kelly has reportedly signed an extended contract with the soap which will see her on screen until at least 2011.
Producers have allegedly handed the 29-year-old, who plays brash Becky Granger in the Weatherfield soap, a special deal to secure her commitment to the ITV show beyond its 50th anniversary celebrations next year.
A source told the Daily Record: "Quite simply, Kathy is the golden girl around the place."
They added: "The bosses drool over her character because the response from the viewers has been absolutely amazing."
She first appeared in the Manchester-based soap in February 2006 and quickly forged a close friendship with odd couple Roy and Hayley Cropper (David Neilson and Julie Hesmondhalgh). Last year, she became the Rovers Returns' 50th barmaid.
:cheer: I am pleased :D
