Although it is technically more than that, she has only been cast in two television shows where she didn't make an appearance as herself. Apart from Coronation Street (and the Jeremy Kyle show) where she has played the role of Tina McIntyre, she was cast also in Ordinary Lies which was first broadcast in March of this year. Before she landed the role on Coronation Street, she had only been to two other acting auditions and she was chosen out of 900 wannabe Tinas to get the part. You go, girl.
