Michelle Keegan has said that the departure of her Coronation Street co-star Craig Gazey will leave a "void".

Gazey, who plays window cleaner Graeme Proctor in the soap, will be leaving Weatherfield in July. Keegan plays his on-screen girlfriend Tina McIntyre.

In a webchat on Corrie's official website, Keegan said: "I'm really going to miss Graeme when he leaves. Him and Tina work really well together - there will definitely be a void in the cast."

"I love him and Tina together - I think they make a great couple" she added.

Keegan also spoke about the drinks available in the Rovers Return pub.

"They serve non-alcoholic beer in the Rovers. It tastes horrible as it's warm!" she revealed.

"The meals in the Rovers are quite unhealthy really! I just nick the nuts when we're filming."
