Coronation Street star reveals secret relationship with Spice Girl Geri Horner
A CORONATION Street star has revealed a secret connection to Spice Girl Geri Horner.
Soap actress Charlotte Jordan has spilled about the time she was put into a band by the Spice Girl.
Charlotte, who plays the role of Daisy Midgeley in the long-running ITV soap, made the revelation to The Sun’s TV Mag.
She told how when she was 15 her agent organised for her to go to an audition.
But instead of it being for an acting gig, it was for a place in Geri Horner‘s band.
The popstar was putting a new group together which Charlotte ended up getting a part in.
She said with a laugh: “It’s just so random! My life is so random! I was a baby, I was 15 I think.
“It was just an audition that my agent sent me on like any other, but instead of it being for TV or film or theatre, it was for a pop group.
“She was putting it together with Simon Fuller and they were looking for a new band and somehow I ended up in it.
“We were together for two-and-a-half years just developing our sound.”
Charlotte went on to reveal that she eventually departed the band to pursue a solo career.
She said: “I was offered a solo deal and I did that for another two-and-a-half years.
“I thought: ‘Actually, I don’t want to be a singer at all.’ I just fell into it and wanted to go back to acting, so that’s what I did.”
Now Charlotte is reaping the rewards from her decision, having won the Best Dramatic Performance award at the British Soap Awards earlier this month.
Meanwhile, Charlotte’s character Daisy shocked fans last week by kissing Ryan (Ryan Prescott) while they were waiting for the verdict for stalker Justin’s trail, even though she is engaged to Daniel (Rob Mallard).
Daisy’s feelings for Ryan appeared to resurface as she tried to comfort him and was reminded of his life-changing injuries he now has after protecting her from the acid attack.
Ryan then ordered Daisy to stay away from him as she has a fiancé.
Viewers know Daisy was pretending to be Crystal and Ryan has recently figured out he has been cat fished.
