Claire Sweeney can't wait for fans to see her in a completely new light when she makes her Coronation Street debut next week.
The 52-year-old is set to arrive on the Cobbles as Tyrone Dobbs' mum, Cassie, in the episode broadcast on June 28. The troubled character is a recovering drug addict and first look images have showed off Claire's incredible transformation to play the role.
The former Brookside star told the ECHO and other press why she has relished the opportunity to play a character world's apart from her usual glamorous self. She said: "I want her to be so far removed from me and the minute I get the clothes on, the leggings, the converse, the cap and looking really rough, I then become that character."
