Ex-Corrie nurse goes naked on stage

Jill Halfpenny, who played Martin Platt's squeeze, nurse Rebecca Hopkins, is appearing on the West End stage in the nuddy. Jill teams up with other ex-soap actresses from EastEnders and Hollyoaks and the goddess that is Jerry Hall (the only woman in the world I could turn to bat for the other side for) in Calendar Girls. The play's now on at London's Noël Coward Theatre until 17 October. Book your tickets here www.seecalendargirls.com.

I'm over the moon to report that the normal £1.50 booking fee will be going to a charity close to the Coronation Street blog's heart - Leukaemia Research.
