CORONATION Street star Elle Mulvaney looked very different to her character as she posed for a picture with her mum.
The 19-year-old, who plays wild child Amy Barlow, is now all grown up after finding fame playing the schoolgirl with pigtails in 2010.

She’s now easily one of Corrie‘s most glamorous young stars and her latest Instagram snap proves it.
Elle stunned in a black mini dress with long sleeves, and she wore a sweep of red lipstick, topping off the look with straightened hair.
The TV star stood next to her proud mum Carla who looked equally dressed up in a pink chiffon dress.
She penned: “Happy birthday to my gorgeous mum! We love you so much.”
Elle lives in Bury with her mum, dad Simon and sister Georgia, who she calls Geo, in a gorgeous home that features a winding staircase.
She recently took part in a photoshoot with HOAR.
“I love getting dressed up,” she said.
“Since turning 18 I’ve really enjoyed wearing nice clothes. It makes me feel good.
“Amy doesn’t care what she looks like, whereas I like a bit of glam and make-up.”
She recently shared her first screen kiss with actor Jack James Ryan — screen boyfriend Jacob Hay — in the soap’s Bistro bar in front of Amy’s embarrassed parents.
Elle told HOAR she decided to make the kiss with her screen boyfriend even longer than was scripted to make Simon Gregson and Kate Ford — who play her parents — squirm.
Elle said of her TV kiss: “We decided to make it painfully long and in the rehearsal we did it full-on.
“The script described it as a long, gross snog, so we thought it would be funnier if we really went for it.
“The cast and crew had read the script but didn’t expect that. Their jaws were on the floor. Even when they started laughing, we kept going.
“When we actually filmed it, we had to do it again and again to get the camera angles right. It was hilarious, because their reaction was the same every time. It never got less cringey.”
