Coronation Street has revealed that it has signed up a West End legend for a guest role in the soap as Glenda Shuttleworth gets a blast from the past. Jodie Prenger joined the ITV soap last year as George Shuttleworth's cruise performer sister who has since settled behind the bar of the Rovers Return with landlady Jenny Connor.
And she's set to be reunited with an old friend, played by Ruthie Henshall will swap the stage for the cobbles when she appears on screen next month. The actress will play Estelle and viewers will first meet her when she has a run-in with Glenda's funeral director brother about the cost of her mother's funeral.
However, all will be forgotten when she bumps into Glenda, as the pair reminisce about working together on cruise ships. Estelle will then try to talk Glenda into buying into her theatre school franchise, Little Big Shotz.
