SimonRayner1 on twitter tells us this about Kym Marsh, who plays Michelle Connor.
"Former member of Hear'Say, Kym Marsh, enjoyed a successful, if rather too brief, solo singing career after leaving the group, then in 2006 she competed in the 'Making Your Mind Up' show for the right to represent her country at Eurovision." Watch it here:
Les Dennis, soon to return to Coronation Street as Michael Rodwell, starred in the spoof Eurovision stage play, called Eurobeat. I went to see this and it was fantastic.
Do you know any more connections between Corrie and the Eurovision song contest? Let us know!
