Biography
Stockport-born actress who rose to fame playing Shelley Unwin in Coronation Street. She's also had recurring roles in, among other things, Mount Pleasant, Still Open All Hours and Scott & Bailey, as well as having been a Loose Women panellist. More recently she's played the titular amateur detective in the Channel 5 hit The Madame Blanc Mysteries which she also co-writes.
Appears to have found a niche as a locum, having filled in for Warwick Davis on Tenable and Stephen Mulhern on The Big Quiz, and was Alexander Armstrong's first temporary Pointless Friend following the departure of Richard Osman.
Trivia
She can claim a number one single, too: at the age of seven, she was a member of the St Winifred's School Choir which had a Christmas chart-topper with "There's No One Quite Like Grandma", for which she was paid a 50p book token. Sorry for reminding you of that. Chart fans might like to know that Grandma was, in the period between 1971 and 1983 when chart compilers took a week off after Christmas, the only Christmas number one to not top the unpublished New Year chart, with John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" dipping out as a result.
