Coronation Street

Cheryl Cole comes to Corrie for Text Santa

Cheryl Cole comes to Weatherfield in a special sketch for ITV's Text Santa, which will be shown on Friday 20 December at 8pm...

Corrie scriptwriters have penned a storyline that sees Cheryl Cole arrive on The Street and head for the Rovers Return, looking for her childhood friend, Tina McIntyre.

Cheryl expects to be travelling home to Newcastle with Tina for her mum’s Christmas party, but this is Coronation Street where nothing ever goes to plan...

Coronation Street has always been part of my life, we’d all watch it as kids every night. It’s surreal to be part of something I’ve watched my whole life. It’s great to be able to support six wonderful charities and I really hope that this year’s appeal makes a difference to many lives.

Cheryl Cole

Appearing with Cheryl will be Corrie regulars including Steve (Simon Gregson), Michelle (Kym Marsh), Kirk (Andy Whyment), and many more...
