Corrie 'cast Waterloo Road star' as cobbles newcomer after her husband arrived on ITV soap

Waterloo Road actress Vanessa Hehir has reportedly clinched a role on ITV soap Coronation Street.

The 41-year-old, who also starred in Heartbeat, is said to have been cast as one of Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) parishioners on the cobbles.

Vanessa may be best known to TV viewers as the character Rosie Cartwright on ITV’s Heartbeat, who she played from 2001 to 2007, but she will now reportedly join the cobbles as a character called Esther Hargrave later this month.
