BARNSLEY'S Katherine Kelly has started filming on the new series of Happy Valley.

The critically acclaimed BBC drama was commissioned for a second series following the gripping finale last year, and will feature a host of new faces.

It's a real Corrie takeover as Katherine joins former Corrie star Sarah Lancashire - who reprises her role as police sergeant Catherine Cawood - and is reunited with Corrie legend Julie Hesmondhalgh who played Hayley Cropper.
