Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding to join Coronation Street cast

Our blogger Llifon said earlier today that Harold from Neighbours was joining Coronation Street. April Fool!

However, this one appears to be serious.

ITV Corrie report that Sarah Harding from Girls Aloud will make a guest appearance on Coronation Street in four episodes to be transmitted this summer.

Exact details of her storylines are being kept under wraps, but she will play a feisty character who is going to make life difficult for troublemaker Tracy Barlow.

Sarah whose acting credits include Bad Day, the BBC television film Freefall, Run for your Wife and St Trinians 2: The legend of Fritton’s Gold, will start filming in May.

Sarah Harding said: "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!!"
