She was played by actress Alice Barry, well-known for playing Lilian in Shameless. She's also been in Coronation Street before - in another fortune-telling storyline. Back in 2002, Alice Barry played a character who had her fortune told by Fiz Brown when she pinched Gypsy Peggy Jones' booth in Blackpool.

She's also in my favourite comedy series, Phoenix Nights. Great stuff.

ReplyDeleteOh dear, I thought she had a fake nose on! Her son, the Manager of the Ballroom looked and spoke eerily like Steve. Loved the Hayley and Roy dancing scenes.
