Alexandra Mardell has landed a role in Fireman Sam
The former 'Coronation Street' actress - who played Emma Brooker in the ITV soap - is to voice Pontypandy firefighter Ellie Phillips in the children's show, and says most of the part has been recorded in her wardrobe.
She wrote on Instagram: "Fireman Sam! I’m the new voice of Ellie!! We do have a laugh! And most of it was recorded in my wardrobe! 'Roger that Sam!'"
In March, Alexandra admitted she was "pleased" there is chance for Emma - who she portrayed from 2018 until April this year - to return to ‘Coronation Street’.
She said: "I'm really, really pleased. I think even saying goodbye now is hard enough, but that little kind of hope of, 'One day!' There's a possibility I could go back. That keeps you going - it's not goodbye forever, you never know! But yeah, I'm really glad that she wasn't killed off.
"I don't know what the future holds, but I'm just so glad that Emma's still alive - and hopefully she remains alive!"
Alexandra admitted being on 'Corrie' was “a career goal” and “surreal”.
She said: “Being on 'Corrie' was always a career goal that I really wanted to do, so the fact that I was lucky enough to have that opportunity and be on 'Corrie', it’s just ridiculous, it’s still so surreal and I’m forever grateful for that.
"I kind of miss working with Sue [Nicholls] in the salon at Audrey’s as well. We had some amazing scenes in there, and that’s when you get everybody coming in and out - as well as the Rovers, which was lucky so I kind of had the best of both worlds, getting to work with so many people.
"But yeah, I’ve been really, really lucky. I can’t complain at all."
