Katherine Kelly has backed ITV's recent decision to move Coronation Street's studios to MediaCity.
The award-winning actress, who portrays Becky McDonald in the serial, claimed that the current set is "bursting at the seams".
"It's necessary; you've got to keep moving forward - we've long outgrown this site," What's On TV quotes her as saying. "I'm glad Corrie's not stuck in its ways and is happy to up sticks and move with the times, yet keep its roots in Manchester.
"You can't get left behind if you're the number one show on British TV. You've got to be seen to be not just moving with the times but at the front of it."
Kelly added: "The site began when there were 15 in the cast, now we are 70 plus three crews. They're doing it for a good reason. You've got to keep the show moving. It's 50 years young!"
