Cheryl Cole to Make Corrie Debut at Christmas

Cheryl Cole is set to make her Corrie debut this Christmas as part of Text Santa, a charity initiative set up to raise money for a number of organisations during the festive period. This week the singer filmed the one-off television sketch with a number of cast members, including Michelle Keegan (Tina) and Simon Gregson (Steve), for the programme which airs on ITV on December 20th. Apparently Cheryl plays Tina’s childhood friend who arrives at the Rovers Return to convince her to come to Newcastle with her. Speaking about it, she said: “It’s surreal to be part of something I’ve watched my whole life. It’s great to be able to support such wonderful charities and I really hope that this year’s appeal makes a difference to many lives.” Cheryl pulling pints with Michelle in the Rovers Return (image via Twitter).
