Coronation Street star Kym Marsh is set to join Waterloo Road.
The actress - best known for her role as Michelle Connor in the ITV soap for over a decade - has confirmed she will be joining the BBC One show when it is rebooted later this year, whilst Rachel Leskovac - who played the recently deceased Natasha Blakeman on the ITV soap - has also signed up for the new BBC series.
Kym said she is "thrilled" to be joining the cast, and she is set to play Nicky Walters, a school canteen worker and a mother to two pupils at Waterloo Road. She joins already announced actors Angela Griffin, Adam Thomas and Katie Griffiths.
