Corrie's Rachel Leskovac 'beyond thrilled' with new role after tragic soap exit

Coronation Street star Rachel Leskovac says she is "beyond thrilled" as she announced a new role after her Coronation Street exit.

Rachel played Natasha Blakeman on the ITV soap up until last year, when she was tragically gunned down in a case of mistaken identity after Harvey Gaskell returned to the street to kill Leanne Battersby.

She has revealed she will be joining the cast of Waterloo Road, alongside the likes of fellow Corrie star Kym Marsh as well as Angela Griffin, Adam Thomas and Katie Griffiths.
