'Coronation Street' actress Katherine Kelly has said she is happy that the ITV soap will be moving to a new home.
The show is moving from its current Manchester set to MediaCityUK in nearby Salford Quays in 2012.
Holy Soap reports that Kelly, who plays Becky McDonald, said of the move: "It's necessary; you've got to keep moving forward - we've long outgrown this site, we're bursting at the seams.
"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.
"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."
