Stephanie Davis said it was a "dream come true" to land a role on Coronation Street.
The 30-year-old will make her Cobbles debut as Courtney Vance in the episode broadcast on July 19. The former Hollyoaks star's Weatherfield bow will mark her eagerly awaited return to the screen after she stepped away from performing following the birth of her child, Caben.
Steph's six-year-old son is now at school and she told the ECHO how she reached a point last year when she had to get back to "where she belongs" in front of the camera. She said: "I needed to do what I love again so I got a new agent and set myself on a fresh start."
