Video: Coronation Street's Mary Christmas for Text Santa

If you missed the Coronation Street special of Text Santa last night, you can watch it now on the official ITV Coronation Street website.  Or if you'd like to watch it again, it's here.

It sees X Factor judge and Spice Girls singer Mel B join the soap for a special cameo role, playing Santa’s bossy chief operational head of Christmas management services.She organises all of Santa’s appointments, but when his sleigh breaks he’s unable to carry out his important present deliveries – and so takes a rest in Mary’s motor home.

Mary finds him relaxing in a sea of fairy lights inside her van, after following giant snowy footsteps that lead to the door of the motor home, and is initially furious to find an imposter inside.

But when Santa lists all of Mary’s presents on Christmas from over the years – including a Jonathan Ross jumbo jigsaw – she realises that he’s the real deal.

Mel’s character soon enlists Mary’s help to take on Santa’s role around Coronation Street’s Weatherfield, and she’s given the title ‘Mary Christmas’ as she gets ready to fill some very big boots.
