Katie McGlynn is making her professional stage debut
The 29-year-old actress is known for playing Sinead Tinker on 'Coronation Street' - who succumbed to cancer in 2019 - and enjoyed a stint as Becky Quentin on 'Hollyoaks' between 2021 and 2022 but took to social media on Wednesday (14.12.22) to reveal that her next role is as Cleo in a play based on 'Wish You Were Dead' by Peter James.
She wrote on Instagram: "Absolutely delighted to share that I’m joining the lead cast of @peterjamesuk’s Wish You Were Dead national tour, making my professional stage play debut as Cleo"(sic)
The ex-'Waterloo Road' star went on to explain that she will be sharing the part with former 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! winner Giovanna Fletcher and will be joined in the cast by the likes of 'Casualty' actors George Rainsford and Clive Mantle as the show visits some of the most "iconic" theatres in the UK over the course of spring 2023.
She added: "I’ll be sharing the role with the wonderful @mrsgifletcher and joining @grainsford @clive.mantle.752 and Leon Stewart from the 2nd May through to the 29th July 2023 - I can’t wait to visit some of the UK’s most iconic theatres and am so thrilled to be performing alongside such a talented cast."

She said: "Thank you to the entire cast and crew for being so unbelievably amazing and welcoming me with open arms! I will miss you
all, but other exciting opportunities beckon…"
