Former Coronation Street star Katie McGlynn has spoken about making her theatre debut and said she ‘loves the nerves’ of being on stage on ITV’s Good Morning Britain. Katie won awards for playing the role of Sinead Tinker on the show from 2013 until 2020, who battled terminal cancer.
Now the ex soap-star is taking to the stage in the new production of Peter James’ thriller Wish You Were Dead. The 29-year-old is playing pathologist Cleo Morley in her professional theatre debut.
The play has just been on at The Lowry and will be touring various venues across the UK. Speaking to presenters Charlotte Hawkins and Ed Balls on Good Morning Britain, Katie said she likes ‘being out of her comfort zone’ on stage and wanted a fresh challenge.
