Coronation Street star looks unrecognisable after swapping the Cobbles for new reality show
CORONATION Street star Lisa George showed off a very new look as she revealed she’s taking part in a new TV show.
The 49-year-old, who is best known for playing Beth Tinker on the soap, transformed her appearance with a short black wig to appear in the upcoming series of All Star Musicals.
She excitedly told her followers: “It’s a fabulous show and the rest of the cast are superb! This was such an exciting show and I feel hugely privileged to be taking part… I had a blast!
“Can you guess what musical I’m performing? One of my favourite! I first performed this musical at drama school in 1995 and adored it then and still adore it now so I was over the moon I got to play a part in it again!”
After thanking all the team she got to work with, Lisa added: “Seriously was the most wonderful experience which I will treasure forever…
"It’s been over ten years since I sang and it’s put fire in my belly again and made me realise how much I actually really miss it.”
