Former Coronation Street star Lucy-Jo Hudson confirmed her new role years

after her exit from the cobbles. The actress, who played Katy Harris in the ITV soap,

shared a string of bts snaps of her latest project. She captioned the post: ‘Behind The Scenes of “That Girl”

‘A short film 🎬 directed by the very talented @davidcrowley. It’s based on a true story about a teenage girl growing up struggling with a parent that is in and out of prison.’

She added: ‘It’s incredibly powerful. I’ll keep you posted on its release date.’

Lucy-Jo recently left Hollyoaks, with Donna-Marie Quinn departing after a long stint as a main character, coupled with several recurring stints following her debut in 2018.

Discussing whether or not we’ll see her back, she told Metro.co.uk: ‘Never say never!’

Lucy-Jo also starred in ITV’s Sunday night soapy drama Wild at Heart for six series and had a guest role in Casualty.

Her recurring part as Rhiannon Davis in Doctors aired across two months in 2016 – a real continuing drama queen, if we say so ourselves!

In October last year, following budget cuts across the entire corporation, it was announced that the daytime medical serial would come to an end after twenty four years on air.

In February, we reported that a director had requested fans stay clear of their production base in Selly Oak, Birmingham, on the final day of filming (1st March).

Recently, Lucy-Jo took to Instagram to write a belated tribute to the show, saying it had ‘pushed [her] out of [her] comfort zone.’

The post, a compilation of clips from her stint, was shared to her 203,000 followers and was captioned: ‘I know I’m a little late in posting this… but from the bottom of my heart I am so very sorry to hear that after 24 years this wonderful soap will be gone this y
