Coronation Street signs up Jodie Prenger for explosive new role on the Cobbles

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.
