ITV Coronation Street: Real life of Glenda Shuttleworth actress Jodie Prenger - 'feral' home life, weightloss, off-screen love and link to Corrie icon

Jodie Prenger has fulfilled a lifelong dream by making her debut on Coronation Street. During scenes aired on the ITV soap on Friday night (August 4), viewers were introduced to Glenda, the 'fun and sassy' sister of George Shuttleworth, played by Tony Maudsley, who made his first appearance in Weatherfield back in 2020.

And the character was quick to make her presence known, coming to the rescue of her brother and saving the day. As viewers saw earlier this week, a dinner cooked by Sean Tully leads to disaster when George broke his tooth. But he delayed going to the dentist as the funeral of Mr Pugh came first.

Then, in typical George fashion, the day of the funeral arrived and the undertaker revealed that he has taken Eileen’s strong painkillers to ease his toothache but Todd realised George was high and shoved him into one of the funeral cars. Mrs Pugh arrived and gave Todd the third degree.
