Coronation Street's Kelly Crabtree is apparently set to take on a second job pulling pints as she goes behind the bar at the Rovers Return. Hard-up Kelly, played by 30-year-old Tupele Dorgu, will take up the job to make a few extra pounds to supplement her income from working in the nearby Underworld factory, according to reports in The Mirror. According to the paper, Kelly is asked: "Since when did you become a barmaid?" To which she replies: "About 30 seconds ago... I really need the money so here I am." Bookmaker Dan Mason is also said to fall for Kelly when he spots her in the pub. Kelly will be the 51st woman to take up a job at the Rovers Return. Previous pint-pullers include Irma Ogden, Racquel Watts and the leopard-print loving Bet Lynch. Betty Williams, played by Betty Driver, has been pulling pints and serving up her renowned hot pot since 1969. CLICK here for photos of Coronation Street's 50 barmaids
