Corrie star praises Kylie, David pairing

Katherine Kelly has praised the decision to pair up Kylie Turner and David Platt in Coronation Street.

The Weatherfield duo, played by Paula Lane and Jack P. Shepherd, became partners on screen earlier this month when Kylie returned from holiday and revealed herself as David's new fiancée.

In an interview with Hot TV, Kelly, who portrays Kylie's half-sister Becky on the soap, backed the pairing as a "genius" plot development.

She explained: "We were doing a scene the other day and they are just perfect together - they have the same sort of energy and similar build so they look great and really bounce off each other.

"It also opens up new opportunities for me as Becky has never had anything to do with the Platts before."

Becky and Kylie had a vicious catfight at the Platt house earlier this week as the tension between the warring siblings escalated. Kelly has admitted that she does not expect the pair to ever reunite.

Meanwhile, Kylie and David are currently planning to marry in early April.
