ITV Coronation Street fans will recognise new Disney+ star as she's spotted filming

A former Coronation Street star has been spotted on a housing estate in the UK filming for a new Disney+ series.

The Full Monty is being reworked into a TV series for the streaming service. The cast began recording scenes in the film's original home of Sheffield.

Former Coronation Street star Tupele Dorgu, 44, was spotted on set as filming of the British cinema classic returned to the city for the first time after scenes were shot last week. Tupele, who played the lovable Kelly Crabtree on the cobbles in the ITV soap, was not part of the original cast in the critically acclaimed film, released 25 years ago.
