From X Factor to the Cobbles… Mel B For Coronation Street Special

Mel B is following in Cheryl Fernandez-Versini’s footsteps by making a cameo appearance in Coronation Street. The X Factor judge is going to star in a special charity edition of the show for fundraiser Text Santa, which airs on December 19th. A spokesperson confirmed the news to The Mirror before adding: “It’s great that Mel B will be a guest star in the special Coronation Street sketch for Text Santa.” Mel is set to film on the cobbles this week but it won’t be a new experience for the 39-year-old as she played Amy Nelson in the soap in 1993, before she rose to fame in the Spice Girls. Last Christmas, Cheryl played a long lost friend of Corrie favourite Tina McIntyre (played by Michelle Keegan). X Factor judges Mel and Cheryl.
