Corrie star Charlotte Jordan, who plays Daisy Midgley in the soap, stunned fans when she revealed she is not a born and bred Northerner.
The shock came when the actress, 28, appeared on stage to collect her trophies for winning two categories at the British Soap Awards 2023, which aired on Tuesday night.
The annual glitzy awards bash is normally hosted by Phillip Schofield but after his recent shock departure from ITV was replaced by former Loose Women star Jane McDonald.
