Additionally, Jodie’s Coronation Street co-stars, Emmerdale and EastEnders icons, will join her. The star-studded list includes Peter Gunn, Angela Lonsdale, Tom Lister, Harriet Thorpe and more.
Moreover, the actress credited Paul O’Grady, who made this happen.

They’re brilliant.” For more Coronation Street updates, keep checking TV Season & Spoilers!
