What Will The Neighbours Say? Girls Aloud Star Set For Coronation Street

Well this is a bizarre one, although lest we forget that the lovely Michelle (Kym Marsh) it was a band - remember Hear'Say? - before she joined the cast of Corrie.

Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding will be heading towards the cobbles this summer, and is set to appear in four episodes as a "feisty troublemaker" who goes up against Tracy Barlow. About time someone took on that lady!

Harding said of her role; "I am extremely excited to be joining Coronation Street. As a fan of the show it is a huge honour for me to join the cast. I can't wait to get started!"

Producer Stuart Blackburn said: "Sarah is proving to be a gifted and exciting actor and I'm absolutely delighted to have her on board."

He added: "The viewers are in for a treat as her character will be right at the heart of a massive new story for the Barlows."

What do you think Corrie fans, would you like to see Sarah Harding as a permanent addition to the cobbles?
