Inside Coronation Street Daisy star's real life off-screen with co-star boyfriend

Coronation Street star Daisy Midgeley is becoming a fan favourite after showcasing her breadth of acting skills in the soap recently.

Viewers have watched the barmaid transform from a happy, carefree singleton into a scared, deflated young woman.

A rollercoaster storyline kicked off last month which saw her targeted by stalker Justin in the ITV soap, which airs on Virgin Media in Ireland.

She's now trying to piece her life together, while her upcoming wedding to Daniel Barlow is also hanging in the balance thanks to Justin's scheming.

With an acid attack due to take place in upcoming episodes, there has been no shortage of gritty scenes for actress Charlotte Jordan, OK! reports.

Away from the soap, her real life is far less danger filled.

Early life

Charlotte was born in Chobam, Surrey on June 1, 1995. She developed a love of performing at an early age.

Attending the private Oakfield School in Pyrford, Charlotte juggled her education alongside a keen interest in dance, which saw her taking classes at the Susan Robinson School of Ballet in Byfleet.

Throughout her childhood, Charlotte was a regular competitor in multiple ballet, singing and acting competitions - all while achieving distinction grades in all of her examinations.

Following her clear success on stage, Charlotte turned her hand to professional acting, and scored her first paid gig in police drama The Bill, when she was just 12 years old.

Acting career

After her first big break in The Bill, Charlotte went on to star in Summer in Transylvania, a Nickelodeon kids series from 2011-2012.

The show, which was a teen drama filled with zombies, werewolves and even the occasional vampire, follows the journey of a young girl who moves to Transylvania with her dad and brother.

Further small roles followed, including into BBC staple Casualty, before she starred in Netflix drama series Free Rein in 2018, where she portrayed Gaby Grant.

Girlband fame

Before becoming an actor, Charlotte showed off her vocal skills when she was selected to join a band that was being created by Simon Fuller and Geri Halliwell of the Spice Girls.

Performing with them for two years in total, Charlotte decided she much preferred acting, and admitted at the time: “Just because you can sing, doesn’t mean you should become a singer.”

Love life

The actress is in a relationship with her boyfriend Paul, and frequently shares snaps with him on social media.

Most recently, the couple documented a romantic holiday to Paris, where they visited several of the city’s most iconic spots, which include The Louvre.

The couple also got the best look at New York City, after they took off on a helicopter ride around the Big Apple.

Although Paul isn’t an actor by trade, he did previously appear in Coronation Street and star alongside her in one episode.

He made a cameo while Daisy was planning on how to seduce Ryan Connor in the Rovers Return.

While the scene was shot to look like Daisy was grabbing Ryan’s thigh, it was actually her boyfriend’s leg she had clutched as they were maintaining social distancing during lockdown.
