Jodie Prenger is joining Coronation Street as George Shuttleworth's sister.
The I'd Do Anything winner has signed up for the ITV soap in a brand new role as Glenda - the sister of the Cobbles' undertaker George - who works as a cruise performer - and has now headed to the Street, where she soon settles in as a barmaid at the Rovers Return.
George (Tony Maudsley) has been struggling recently by the arrival of his former school bully Frank Bardsley, who has struck up a romance with Eileen Grimshaw's lodger Sean Tully, but things are soon to take a positive turn when Glenda arrives.
