Corrie stars certain set is ‘haunted by soap legends’ after ‘scary’ experiences

Several Coronation Street stars are convinced the ITV set is haunted, after witnessing some "terrifying" goings-on.

There have been many suggestions over the years that the old ITV set located on Quay Street is haunted, from sightings of ghosts, to dead cast members walking around the cobbles.

Many people have even refused to step foot on the location, including crew for BBC Two’s Inside Number 9 and a band hired for a Coronation Street cast party.

Now, speaking exclusively to Daily Star at the Mummy’s Star Ball, actors Elle Mulvaney, Rob Mallard and Kel Allen have shared their own supernatural experiences while working on the longest-running soap.

Blonde bombshell Kel Allen, who played Laura Neelan on the cobbles, says she believes one of the reasons the ITV set is so haunted is because of all the “absolute legends” who worked on the show.

She confessed: “We get told this all the time on set that Corrie is haunted, especially in the Rovers area near the dressing room, especially in the old Quay Street [location] people used to say that was really scary of an evening.

“If you walked into a studio on your own at night you’d hear a sound or a noise of footsteps and then there was no one there and you’re like, ‘Was that someone walking past?’ You’ve got no idea how scary it was.

“But maybe it's all the absolute legends that are still around that you’re seeing, that’s what I like to think anyway.”

And she wasn’t the only one who found the ITV set spooky on set as Elle Mulvaney, who has played Amy Barlow since 2010, opened up about her creepy childhood experiences.

She revealed: “The old set was super [haunted]. The corridors were pretty creepy because the tutoring room used to be on the third floor.

“And I remember when all the lights went off and you had to go upstairs that the lights hadn’t turned on yet because they were censored ones.

"But I was terrified when I was little, honestly I've heard so many things.”

Although Rob Mallard, who plays Daniel Osbourne, joined the show one year after ITV moved the legendary location to Media City, he too confirmed the creepy rumours surrounding the dressing rooms in the Rovers Return.

He agreed: “It was in the old studio. I'd never worked there unfortunately, I think it had been in media city for a year before I joined the show, but yeah, I have heard that the old set was haunted.

“The dressing rooms were scary and there’s one corridor that people would avoid, I believe. Quite a few spooky things went down there.

“This one is completely without any bad vibes at all – they made it bigger so that they could actually get two cars going down the street at the same time."

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV1 and ITVX at 8pm
