Things are about to get a bit more classier for Actress Katherine Kelly As she goes into an opposite role away from Corrie Character Becky Grainger as she will be potraying the role of posh Lady Mae in Edwardian drama Mr Selfridge on ITV. She plays one of Edwardian London’s most powerful socialites, with a love of high fashion and enormous hats. It’s Katherine’s first TV role since she quit Corrie a year ago and she explodes back on the screen as an immaculate brunette with a cut-glass RP accent and a penchant for very young lovers. The actress admits it might take Becky’s fans a while to get used to her 1909 character. She said: “We don’t like change so Corrie fans probably won’t like it at first. That’s just the way we are, isn’t it? I miss Becky too but I love Lady Mae as much as I loved Becky. “I just hope that within 10 minutes they’ll forget her and be completely taken up by this show.” While the formidable Lady Mae is as headstrong as Becky ever was, she conducts herself differently.
