With her debut as new Coronation Street character Joni coming up, former Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding has promised there will be plenty of fireworks involving resident Weatherfield schemer Tracy (Kate Ford).

Joni is the wife of Tracy's former husband Robert Preston (Tristan Gemmill).

Robert is still carrying a torch for Tracy.

Harding said of their storyline: "Joni has moved up with him to his restaurant but obviously he is still holding a torch for Tracy so I play a woman on the edge!"

She continued: "She is very vulnerable; at the same time she does come across as very angry and feisty. But she is also hurting; people have to remember that. If you catch your husband having an affair you would be, wouldn't you?!"

Harding makes her debut in the ITV soap next week.
