Julia Goulding on Corrie role: "I channelled my inner Bet Lynch"

In next week's Coronation Street, we'll see Shona struggle with her decision whether to leave Weatherfield, or stay on the Street.  You can read more on that here.

In real life, actor Julia Goulding, who plays Shona, has been interviewed in this week's Inside Soap magazine.  She answers letters from fans and there's some lovely snippets.

Asked about her audition for Coronation Street, Julia says she was very nervous but very much wanted the role. "I channelled my inner Bet Lynch and wore a leopard-print leotard," she reveals.

She says she never nibbles any of the food in Roy's Rolls as "a lot of it is fake, like the bread and butter," and that she loves working with Jack P Shepherd (David Platt). "He's very funny but he's the utmost professional," she says.

Julia says that she would love to have a scene in the Kabin where she would buy some sweets from Rita.
