Coronation Street: Jodie Prenger huge transformation for new role
Jodie first rose to fame in TV Show ‘I’d Do Anything’ which saw contestants compete for the chance to play Nancy in Oliver! on the West End.
Jodie won the show and went on to star in many stage musicals and TV shows.
Her latest role will see her stepping onto the cobbles as Glenda.
Now Jodie has revealed a huge change she had to make – dying her hair.
Speaking about Glenda’s wardrobe to Entertainment Daily and other media: “It’s a very colourful wardrobe, especially with the hair.
“I went from blonde to going kind of red, which I love.”
When asked how she felt about changing her hair to red Jodie said: “I’ve never gone this colour. I love it, I really really love it. My towels don’t love it in the bathroom when I dyed my hair, but I do love the colour.”
Glenda’s arrival
In upcoming scenes George ends up breaking a tooth after Sean serves some overcooked pork.
George promises to visit the dentist but says Mr Pugh’s funeral must come first.
