Sarah Harding is swapping singing for soap stardom after it was announced she will join the cast of Coronation Street.

Former Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding is set to make a guest appearance in the soap this summer, as a feisty new character who will clash with Corrie’s resident troublemaker Tracy Barlow, played by Kate Ford.

Speaking about her role Sarah has 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!!”

"Sarah is proving to be a gifted and exciting actor and I’m absolutely delighted to have her on board. The viewers are in for a treat as her character will be right at the heart of a massive new story for the Barlows,” Corrie producer Stuart Blackburn said.

The 33-year-old singer’s previous acting credits include roles in the St Trinians films and the BBC drama Freefall.
