"Coronation Street star Katherine Kelly has revealed that she sometimes requests changes to the soap&amp;#039;s scripts in order to make her character&amp;#039;s behaviour more extreme. The actress&amp;#039;s alter ego Becky McDonald - wife of businessman Steve (Simon Gregson) - has become known for her hellraising antics since making her debut on the Weatherfield drama in 2006. Speaking to The Sun, Kelly explained: &amp;quot;The script often says, &amp;#039;Becky slaps Steve&amp;#039; but we try to find a different way to do it. I always think she wouldn&amp;#039;t slap, she would punch. &amp;quot;The other move was kicking Simon in the balls. We did that when Becky found out Steve had given her Michelle&amp;#039;s engagement ring. She was waiting for him outside the cab office. We decided that instead of slapping him she would kick him in the b*llocks. The slap is too common in soaps.&amp;quot; The 30-year-old also said that she came up with the idea of Becky angrily jumping over the Rovers Return bar after being dumped by Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas). She confirmed: &amp;quot;It wasn&amp;#039;t in the script - I just wanted to go over the bar some time. There was a crash mat on the other side but it was down to Ryan to catch me and take me safely to the ground.&amp;quot; Kelly has been nominated for the &amp;#039;Best Serial Drama Performance&amp;#039; prize at this year&amp;#039;s National Television Awards, which take place in London on Wednesday.
