The Nottingham-born actress has joined BBC Radio Four’s The Archers after it was found she was six years older than claimed.
Sacked Corrie star Katie Redford has landed her first big role since leaving.
The Nottingham-born actress has joined BBC Radio Four’s The Archers after she was rumbled after lying about her age.
She told bosses on the cobbles that she was 19 when in fact she was 25 – 11 years older than her 14-year-old character Bethany Platt.
Now 27, she tweeted this week: "Privileged to have joined the cast of @BBCTheArchers! Dum de dum de dum dum."
Katie will play Lily Pargetter on the show, daughter to Elizabeth and twin sister to Freddie.
Katie said:
"I believe Lily to be an extremely bright, confident, social butterfly with quite a charming wit to her.
"Despite her youth, she’s been through an awful lot and I think she’s developed a much thicker skin due to tragic past events.
"I also think she’s fiercely loyal. Her Mum and twin, Freddie, mean the world to her."
