Jennie McAlpine has shared what her young children really think of their mum being on the telly. The actress is famed for playing Fiz Stape in Coronation Street - or Fiz Brown as she was when she arrived on the cobbles 21 years ago.
Jennie, from Bury, made her first appearance in the ITV soap as the feisty teen when she was fostered by Roy and Hayley Cropper after being neglected by her mother, Cilla Brown. For the last two decades, Fiz has had an on and off again relationship with Tyrone Dobbs and the pair seemed over for good when he left her for former lodger Alina Pop and she ended up marrying new man Phill Whittaker.
But after Fiz jilted her husband at their wedding reception, she ran back into Tyrone's arms and the Underworld machinist and mechanic are preparing to tie the knot this Christmas - except Fiz doesn't know anything about it. Corrie viewers saw Tyrone pop the question out of the blue in Roy's cafe.
