Des and Mel and Deb

Actress Debra Stephenson, who plays Frankie Baldwin, will put in a special seasonal appearance on Today With Des And Mel. Debra will join the telly duo on Boxing Day where she’ll be revealing what it's like to have a Corrie Christmas.  She'll no doubt also be discussing the Coronation Street Christmas Panto, which is being broadcast on the same day as she appears with Des and Mel. It's been a busy year for Debra, who should have plenty to talk to Des and Mel about. Away from the cobbles, Debra showed she could sing as well as act when she took part in Comic Relief Does Fame Academy. The former Bad Girl also released her debut album, In the Sunshine, which featured a mix of cover versions and original songs. Never heard of it? No, me neither - until I found this.
