Rebecca recently wrapped up a short stint in the cobbles as Lydia Chambers, for which she earned an Inside Soap Award nomination for Best Villain.

Lydia had tried to sabotage former flame Adam Barlow's relationship with Sarah Platt by secretly harassing the couple and eventually pushing Adam off a balcony. In spite of that, Adam and Lydia made peace before she left the cobbles.

Rebecca has also starred in Waterloo Road and Casualty, as well as playing Debbie Gallagher in Shameless and appearing in Doctors.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
