Collins - who has starred as Stella Price since 2011 - will bow out of the soap this spring, but the actress has described her exit scenes as "anti-climactic".

Describing her last day on set, Collins told The Sunday Mirror's Notebook magazine: "My final scene was leaving in a taxi and it was a bit anti-climactic, as it was 10.15pm and bloody cold. I was quite emotional all day."
Collins revealed that her character swaps Weatherfield for the Big Apple, where she goes to visit a friend.
She explained: "She decides she hasn't got over the Karl thing and the love life isn't going to plan, so she goes to New York to stay with an old friend - who I've never spoken about in my entire life as Stella but suddenly she's my best mate."

The actress took to social media in January to agree with fans who complained about Stella's lack of screentime on the soap. However, Collins insisted she didn't intend for her comments to cause such a stir.
"I'm terrible on Twitter," she said. "I didn't realise things had such a big impact.
"You have to go with what the producer wants and when they know you're leaving, they're not going to invest massively in your character. I've had a lot of dramatic stuff so I didn't really mind."
Collins revealed that people thought she was "mad" when she announced she was leaving Coronation Street , but explained that the commute from her home in London and the studios in Manchester made it difficult for her to spend time with her 17-year-old daughter.
