Former Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding will be appearing on Coronation Street this summer, the soap's bosses have announced.
Harding will appear in four episodes of the soap as a "feisty troublemaker" who is set to make life difficult for Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford).
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!"
Producer Stuart Blackburn said: "Sarah is proving to be a gifted and exciting actor and I'm absolutely delighted to have her on board."
He added: "The viewers are in for a treat as her character will be right at the heart of a massive new story for the Barlows."
Further details of Harding's character or storylines have yet to be revealed. She will begin filming her scenes in May.
