Rula Lenska's Corrie cameo
Tuesday, 6th October 2009.
Flame-haired actress Rula Lenska has landed a small part in Coronation Street.
The 62 year-old star - who became famous in the 70s with a role in TV series Rock Follies - will play an old friend of Weatherfield stalwart Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls).
Lenska's character "Claudia" will appear in an episode in December.
A Corrie spokesperson confirmed the news: "Rula will play a glamorous friend of Audrey's who she meets up with at a function.
"She makes Audrey think about her life and what she wants out of it."
Rula's no stranger to the British small screen, having appeared in Casualty, Footballers' Wives and EastEnders in recent years.
But by far her most infamous appearance was when she played mistress to George Galloway's cat in a bizarre Celebrity Big Brother role play in 2006.
Audiences across the UK winced as the politician imitated a cat drinking milk from Lenska's cupped hands.
Hopefully there'll be no such improvisation going on in Weatherfield!
