Corrie’s Kerri Quinn says fans are jealous of her work with Tristan Gemmill

Kerri Quinn gets called a "lucky dog" for working with ‘Coronation Street’ co-star Tristan Gemmill.
The 34-year-old actress – who plays Robert Preston’s secret lover Vicky Jefferies on the cobbles – describes him as a "gentleman" and admits there are "a lot of gay men" and women back home in Belfast who are jealous of the steamy scenes they’ve shared together.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: "He really is a gentleman. It’s so funny because I get stopped in the street, and get so many people going, ‘You’re a lucky dog!’
"It’s not just the ladies, there’s a lot of gay men as well. I say to him, ‘You’ve got a big following in Belfast’. He’s a dreamboat. As is wee Will who plays Tyler, he’s an absolute dote.
"I couldn’t have asked for a nicer bunch if I’m honest. I haven’t had that much with Kym [Marsh (Michelle Connor)] yet, so I’m hoping we get some more stuff together in the coming months."
Kerri’s future in Weatherfield is uncertain with her alter-ego’s baby due by Christmas, which is around the time Tristan and Kym look set to leave the soap.
Although she doesn’t know how the storyline will unfold, she would love to find a place on ‘Corrie’ beyond Vicky’s relationship with Robert.
She added: "I really do not know what is going to happen. Vicky could forgive Robert, go off with him and live happily ever after but that would be me gone!
"I know they are still toying with so many things. I think at this moment in time, I’ll be going at the end of the storyline, and whatever happens beyond that will be a bonus. I want to stay!"
