Presenter Stacey Dooley said: “We’re talking all things landladies. Letitia Dean and Kellie Bright together – they are just a scream, they are really good fun.

“I had the most brilliant afternoon with the pair of them.”

New episodes of the soap are not currently being broadcast as filming previously had to be halted because of the coronavirus pandemic.
