Someone like Kylie is sure to have made many bad enemies living the way she does. A drug-delaer she ripped off, a disgruntled ex-boyfiend, an embittered former best pal she screwed over, a landlord who's property she skanked the rent on. Has she been inside? Who did she get on the wrong side of behind the bars? I wonder how long it will be before one of them tracks her down to Weatherfield.

Corrie barmaid Becky McDonald has a very distinctive dress sense.
She loves big earrings, big hair and tiny mini-skirts, all put together in a way that only Becky would choose.
But actress Katherine Kelly reveals if her character is in a bad mood, you can tell by the clothes she is wearing.
She revealed in a web chat on the Corrie website: "Becky dresses how she feels. Bright clothes equals good mood. Dark clothes equals bad mood."
Katherine insists she loves Becky's crazy dress sense.
She said: "I think Becky has got some great items in her wardrobe - she just puts them all together a bit wrong, but Becky thinks she rocks!"
Becky was recently looking a little less stylish after her punch-up with sister Kylie. Katherine revealed a lot of hard work had gone into the cat fight.
She said: "The fight scenes are more technical than they look. You have to concentrate - you can't mess around and you have to look after each other.
"Fights on TV are all about camera angles."
So it didn't hurt as much as it looked like it did then?

After Kylie's quick outburst of her family history, you can see why she's such a little cow. But I'd like to think her elderly scumbag father either died a slow and painful death, and nobody attended his funeral. Either that, or living in loneliness, poverty, debt and squalor on a violent hell-hole sink estate, blighted by drugs, gangs, graffiti, in constant fear of a dose of well-deserved boot soup and knuckle sandwiches. Better still, reduced to a meths drinker under the arches.

Yes, Toyah returns, and has a new career as a carer for severely disabled people. Her rapist has done his time in jail, and is always around to plague and terrorise her. Threats, remarks, and even a bit of hands on the throat put poor Toyah at her wits end. The rapist has a skinful in the Rovers, and drives home. On the way, he crashes into a tree, and spends weeks in intensive care. When he comes out, he is blinded and paralysed from the eyeballs down, unable to walk, talk, feed himself, requiring 24/7 care. Guess who gets the job as his carer, no questions asked. He is at her mercy for whatever abuse and punishment she decides to dish out. He spends long periods of time in his own soiled bed, hungry from a constant diet of gruel, left in darkness, terrified of her footsteps as he knows he faces another vicious beating, and humiliating treatment.

Katherine Kelly is to leave Coronation Street at the end of this year, ITV has announced.
The actress has decided to bow out from her role as fan favourite Becky McDonald after five years in Weatherfield.
Becky is to remain on screen until early 2012 and show bosses have promised that she will feature in dramatic storylines for the remainder of her time on the soap.
The build-up to Becky's exit begins next month when social services start investigating her 'purchase' of nephew Max from half-sister Kylie.
Believing that her arch-nemesis Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) has reported her to the authorities, Becky soon goes on another rampage - putting Tracy's life in jeopardy and risking the future of her marriage to Steve (Simon Gregson). Details of the dramatic showdown leaked yesterday but the plot has now been officially confirmed.
Further twists and turns are then expected in the coming months as the McDonalds' ongoing story heads towards an explosive exit for Becky.
Speaking of her forthcoming departure, Kelly commented: "It's been one of the hardest decisions of my life. I love Coronation Street and everyone here. I have had the most blissful five years, I wouldn't change one moment of it - but it feels like the time is right to say goodbye to Becky."
Corrie's producer Phil Collinson added: "Katherine is a talented actress who has made the character of Becky a firm favourite with the viewers for the past five years and we will miss her as an actress and a valued member of the Coronation Street family.
"That said, we totally respect her desire to move on and viewers can certainly look forward to an electrifying nine months of gripping storylines involving Becky McDonald as we head towards her departure from Weatherfield."
Today's announcement brings months of speculation surrounding Kelly's future at Coronation Street to an end. Reports first indicated that the actress was planning to leave last December.

CORRIE star Katherine Kelly is leaving the soap - but not before she appears in a series of explosive storylines.
And bosses won't kill off her character Becky McDonald in case Katherine decides to return.
The actress, 31, who has played the former drug addict and jailbird for five years, wants to try new projects and spend time with family and friends.
She said: "It's been one of the hardest decisions of my life. I love Coronation Street and everyone here. I have had the most blissful time and wouldn't change one moment.
"But it feels the time is right to say goodbye to Becky."
Katherine told Hello! magazine: "I've been told the door will be left open. It's never been about money and, my goodness, how could you get bigger stories than those Becky has had?
"The fact that I have stayed so long is a testimony to the writers and producers - they made it utterly irresistible.
"But there are lots of people in my life I just don't get the chance to see as much as I would like. The down side has been missing special events in my family and friends' lives."
Katherine quits the ITV1 show at the end of this year but viewers won't see her final scenes until early 2012. The dramatic build-up to her exit starts next month.
Becky goes into meltdown after social services start investigating her "purchase" of sister Kylie Turner's son Max. Becky believes Tracy Barlow has reported her to the authorities and goes on the rampage.
It puts Tracy's life in peril and threatens Becky's marriage to Steve McDonald. Producer Phil Collinson said: "We will miss Katherine as an actress and valued member of the Coronation Street family.
"But we respect her desire to move on and viewers can look forward to an electrifying nine months of gripping storylines involving Becky."
Katherine made herself a favourite with fans soon after joining in February 2006.
Roy and Hayley Cropper took Becky under their wing and she turned her life around.
She was engaged to Jason Grimshaw but hooked up with Steve - played by Simon Gregson - who gave her an alibi after she was arrested for a drunken rampage.
The couple famously had a second wedding after Becky turned up so drunk at the first one that the registrar refused to marry them.
Becky, desperate for a child, bought nephew Max from her wild child sister - raising money by looting the corner shop as Sunita lay hurt after the Weatherfield tram crash.
Katherine said in her Hello! interview that she is looking forward to the July wedding of her old school chum, rugby star Mike Tindall, and Zara Phillips.
She said: "I've been told to buy a hat by Mike. He and Zara are so sociable and I've always had fun with them."
Corrie GAINS a key new character when ex-EastEnder Michelle Collins takes over the Rovers - as revealed in TV Biz on Saturday.
