Alexandra Mardell has been congratulated by her Coronation Street co-stars as she bagged her first job after leaving the soap.
The actress played Emma Brooker on the ITV soap until earlier this year when she quit the programme as her character headed off to Australia with Ted's grandson, who vowed to keep her killer secret to himself. Emma and Faye were involved in the accidental death of elderly resident Ted, but the secret was too much to bear and Emma confessed what she'd done to Jon.
The pair ran off together to start a new life, and now Alexandra has bagged herself a new role with ITV. She has signed up for The Family Pile, which also stars Amanda Abbington, Clare Calbraith and Claire Keelan.
