Sheila Wheeler starts work at The Kabin

Last week we broke the news on this blog that Mrs Barbara Nice (aka comedian Janice Connolly) is set to join Coronation Street. Now we can reveal that Janice will be playing the role of Sheila Wheeler, who'll be Norris' new assistant in The Kabin.

Apparantly, she's going to get right on Norris' nerves. Oh, good.

It's not the first time that Janice Connolly has been on Corrie. Back in 2004 she played Dolly Gartside, the overbearng mother of drayman Eric Gartside, played by comedian Peter Kay.

Mrs Barbara Nice joins Coronation Street

The stand-up comedian behind the woman who is Mrs Barbara Nice will be appearing in Coronation Street. But why and who as? Who knows!

Actress Janice Connolly, aka Mrs Nice, was interviewed on the BBC Radio 4 Midweek programme and you can hear her talk about her role on Corrie and whether she'll marry Norris or not. Intriguing, I'm sure you'll agree.
