A CORONATION Street legend has signed up for Dancing On Ice and will go head to head with S Club and Gogglebox stars.<\/p>\n
Liverpool actress Claire Sweeney will be taking to the ice this year, alongside Hannah Spearritt from S Club and Stephen from Gogglebox.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
A show source said: \u201cClaire is going to be the first big name to be unveiled for Dancing On Ice.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is a really talented performer and is pretty decent on the ice already.\u201d<\/p>\n
The star plays Cassandra 'Cassie' Plummer on Corrie, who is the long-lost mother of Tyrone Dobbs.<\/p>\n
But her big break came a long time ago, when she landed the part of Lindsay Corkhill in Brookside in 1989.<\/p>\n
In 2001 she appeared in the first series of Celebrity<\/span> Big Brother alongside Jack Dee, who won the show, Anthea Turner, Vanessa Feltz, Chris Eubank and Keith Duffy<\/span>.<\/p>\n The show, which was in aid of Comic Relief, ran for eight days. Claire came in second place.<\/p>\n Claire was also in Benidorm, and played a \u2018no-nonsense\u2019 ground crew worker at the airport of the Spanish resort.<\/p>\n Her character ruffled a few feathers, starting with the Dawson family who she came face to face with as they tried to board a plane back to the UK.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n She starred alongside her former Brookside co-star Kate Fitzgerald who played cougar gran Loretta on Benidorm.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s Brookside that Claire is best known for, after playing her Lindsay role for ten years.<\/p>\n She then left the show and worked as a singer on P&O cruise ships for four years before returning to the UK.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n She reprised her role in Brookside and stayed on as Lindsay until 2003 when the show was axed by Channel 4.<\/p>\n Claire was a regular on Loose Women from 2003 until 2005. In 2004 she appeared in the first series of Strictly Come Dancing and finished in fifth place out of eight contestants.<\/p>\n<\/picture>cor blimey <\/span><\/p>\n
