Stephanie Davis has revealed the 'amazing' Coronation Street star she's still in touch with after her ITV soap exit.

Stephanie, 33, joined the cobbles back in 2023 as Courtney Vance as part of an explosive storyline. During Courtney's time in Weatherfield, the character, who was married to Darren, played by Ryan Early, struck up an affair with Aadi Alahan, played by Adam Hussain.

However, despite attempting to make a go of things with Aadi, Courtney eventually reunited with Darren and left Weatherfield, leaving Aadi heartbroken on the cobbles.

Talking exclusively to the Daily Star, via WhichBingo, about her time on the cobbles, Stephanie revealed the 'amazing' co-star she's still in touch with.

Stephanie told us: "I was acting a lot with Dev [Alahan, played by Jimmi Harkishin] in Coronation Street, who is absolutely amazing. Now, me and him together, we started just writing our own scripts.

"We bounced off each other so much and I was like, 'I'm going to do this, and I'm going to take your coffee off you when you're drinking it!' and he was like, 'yeah, I love it!'

"'I'm going to do this', and then the director's like, 'Okay, they're going with it.' There's a few scenes, especially that coffee-drinking scene.

"In the end, I thought they're going to end up writing us that we are having the affair [instead of Courtney and Aadi], because we had such good chemistry on screen.

"He still always checks in with me now, and we still keep in contact with each other. Yeah, he's amazing. We just had so many laughs on set!" Stephanie added: "Everyone's just great there. It's just an amazing place to work."

Praising the Corrie set, Stephanie said: "Corrie I think is honestly just an absolutely amazing place to work.

"The people, the cast, the crew, the people in the section, the cleaners, everybody who works there are all like salt of the earth, and it's such a professional place.

"I've always wanted to do Coronation Street, so I was absolutely honoured when I got the part for Courtney. She [Courtney] brought a bit of spice to it, didn't she?

"And then, obviously, I got pregnant with my son, so I've then taken time off to be a mum and maternity leave, but I'm really excited to be coming back now and doing what I love again [acting]."
