Chloe Newsome returns to TV this Christmas

Chloe Newsome will  be back on TV this Christmas, but sadly, not as Steve McDonald's ex-wife Vicky Arden on Coronation Street -  that really would have put the cat among the pigeons!

You can catch Chloe in Lost Christmas which stars Eddie Izzard. 

Over at Ian Wylie's TV Blog he reports:

"Lost Christmas is one of CBBC’s most expensive productions to date – a co-commission with BBC1 – and may surprise some viewers.

Sue Nott, executive producer for CBBC, told a post-screening Q&A:  “It’s pushing the boundaries.  But there’s something about Christmas with Scrooge, with Dickens, with Oliver Twist – the kind of stories that people accept and expect at Christmas. Yes, it is quite a hard one for us. But it was very much designed with a family audience in mind. Our hope is that people will watch it as a family and enjoy it as a family.”
