Stephanie Davis is best known for her role on Hollyoaks as Sinead O’Connor, her dramas in the Celebrity Big Brother house, and of course her role on Over The Rainbow, competing to play Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.
But now she’s joined Coronation Street as newcomer Courtney, who’s about to cause all sorts of chaos in Aadi Alahan‘s life!
A dream come true for Stephanie Davis
So how is Steph feeling about joining the legendary soap?
“It’s a dream come true,” she gushes. “I’m loving it. Everyone’s been so welcoming. I’ve settled in straight away.”
And Steph, who’s been in showbiz since she was a little girl, says it’s something she’s wanted since she was a youngster!
“I wrote a poem when I was about 13 and it said ‘one day I will be on the cobbles of Coronation Street’ and my mum put it in her bedside drawer,” she tells us. “She got it out the other day. How amazing is that?”
Written in the stars
In fact, Stephanie says her new role was meant to be after she told her new agent her ideal job was working on Coronation Street.
“It must have been two days after that, I was getting my lashes done, and my phone rang and it was my new agent,” Stephanie tells us. “She said, ‘you’re never going to believe this. A part has just come up in Coronation Street!’ It was my first audition back, after three years. So I did the audition, and I went through a wave of emotions, because it was everything I wanted. It was too good to be true!”
And when she found out she had got the part, Stephanie said she burst into tears.
“I just couldn’t believe how quick it had happened,” she explains. “I was so grateful and I felt like everything happened for a reason.”
