Coronation Street newcomer Stephanie Davis has confessed she "cried" after landing the role of Courtney Vance on the ITV soap.
The former Hollyoaks actress revealed her tears over the new role, as she discussed her break from TV over the past few years. Steph's character will be caught up in new scenes with fellow newcomer Darren, and existing characters Dev and Aadi Alahan.
But the actress revealed it was "fate" that she landed her dream role, which she says was written for her. Revealing the "crazy" coincidences about her landing a role on a show she'd dreamed of working on, Stephanie confessed she was left in tears when she bagged the role.
