Corrie fans stunned as Emmerdale star shows off glam makeover during debut

Coronation Street viewers were treated to a familiar face on the cobbles on Monday night, as a soap actress made her debut.

Phill Whittaker was stunned when his ex-wife Camilla rocked up to the street unannounced, with his fiancée Fiz Brown not impressed.

She soon made it clear there was history between them, before declaring she had bought a gift for Phill ahead of his wedding.

But viewers were distracted as they quickly realised where they had seen Camilla before, recognising the actress from another big role.

Louise Marwood is playing the role of glamorous Camilla, and she's no stranger to soap drama.

Viewers of fellow ITV soap Emmerdale will know her as she played Chrissie White on the show between 2014 and 2017.

But they might have to double take, as she looks totally different in her latest role to her previous character.

Chrissie was the wife of Robert Sugden, who was left devastated when she found out he was cheating on her with Aaron Dingle.

She was at the centre of some big storylines on the soap, including her son Lachlan White becoming a serial killer.

While playing Chrissie, Louise had short brunette hair which she often chopped into a Bob with a short fringe.

But Camilla has a very different style, with long curly hair and curtain bangs - while her locks are dark red in colour.

Fans were thrilled by the cameo, with one writing on Twitter : "Chrissie White looks good after rising from the dead!"

Another said: "It’s Chrissie White from Emmerdale!!!!" as a third added: "Omg was that the iconic Chrissie white?!"

Chrissie was actually killed off on the soap along with her father Lawrence White, with the characters written out of the soap as part of Lachlan's plot.

He killed them both, it was revealed, when he deliberately crashed the car to stop them from taking him away from the village.

Prior to this, Chrissie had set up cheating lover Andy Sugden for attempted murder knowing he was innocent, leading to him going on the run.

Viewers will no doubt be wondering if her time on Corrie is going to be as dramatic as her stint in the village.

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
