ITV Coronation Street's Jodie Prenger dubbed 'sensational' as she puts on sparkling display at first soap Xmas bash

Jodie Prenger pulled out all the stops as she headed out for her first Coronation Street Christmas bash. The actress, who joined the soap earlier this year as Glenda Shuttleworth, was dubbed 'sensational' as she hit the town with her co-stars to celebrate the festive season.

Theatre and TV star Jodie took to Instagram to share a selfie of herself and new co-star , actor and director Robert Shaw Cameron, who has recently joined the show as Sean Tully's love interest, Laurence.

The pair could be seen in a lift as they headed out into Manchester's city centre with Robert giving his best blue steele in the mirror while donning a striped shirt and matching dark blue trousers. But all eyes were on Jodie who sparkled from head-to-toe in a plunging black gown.

"Getting ready," the soap star, whose red locks had been styled into classic Hollywood curls, captioned the snap of the pair at the Moxy Manchester City. And the compliments quickly came flooding in.

Corrie star Lisa George, who stars as Beth Sutherland in the ITV soap, wrote: " Look at you glamour puss!!" Former Corrie star Catherine Tyldesley said: "Omg! SENSATIONAL," alongside a string a flame emojis. Atomic Kitten singer Natasha Hamilton replied: " Oh hello." Former Emmerdale actress Natalie Anderson added: " Beeeeautiful!!!"
