Katie McGlynn is showing a 'different side' to herself as she stars in Wish You Were Dead at The Lowry theatre at Media City, and a host of famous faces flocked to the red carpet to support their friend. The former Coronation Street favourite, who played Sinead Osbourne in the soap, has been her professional theatre debut in the Peter James thriller.
The 29-year-old star from Rochdale plays pathologist Cleo Morley opposite Casualty's George Rainsford as DSI Roy Grace in the national tour. Katie, who played Sinead in Coronation Street from 2013 to 2019, also stars alongside Game of Thrones actor Clive Mantle.
On taking to the stage just a stone's throw away from the Corrie set across the bridge in Trafford, Katie said: "I'm a having a bit of a pinch me moment because I'm here. This is the biggest stage outside of London." And she added: "You're going to see a very different side to me."
