She first rose to fame after winning a number of huge TV shows in the noughties which included Andrew Lloyd Webber’s I’d Do Anything on the BBC in 2009Β 

This is set to keep her on the seemingly strugglingΒ ITVΒ soap for at least another year amid the cast exodus.

A number of high-profile stars have leftΒ Coronation StreetΒ after a string of high-profile budget cuts.

However, one star has revealed that she is very much set to stay on the cobbles, and possibly behind the bar of the Rovers.

West End starΒ Jodie Prenger, 46, first made her debut on the long-running serial drama asΒ Glenda ShuttleworthΒ in August 2022.

She rose to fame after winning the second series of The Biggest Loser in 2006.

This was before she beat out the likes of Oscar nomineeΒ Jessie BuckleyΒ to win the role of Nancy in the 2009 West End revival of Oliver as part ofΒ Andrew Lloyd Webber’sΒ BBCΒ Talent show, I’d Do Anything.

The actress soon swapped the stage for the screen as she secured a ‘dream’ role on the cobbles.

Jodie has now revealed that she’s set to reprise her popular role in more episodes of the show.

She excitedly told Bella magazine: “I’ve just re-signed my contract! The poor things have got stuck with me for another year!

“I’m thrilled. I love it there. I used to always say to my agent, β€˜Would you ask if I can be on Corrie?’.”

She added: “I was that crazy person outside, pitched in a tent, wanting to get in – and now I’m in!”

Coronation Street’s Jodie Prenger reveals future of Platt family after fans feared another soap legend will quit

This comes following a string of high-profile exits including Helen Worth, who departed her long-running role as Gail Platt.

This was after a 50-year tenure on ITV screens which kicked off a series of otherΒ long-running cast members also leaving Weatherfield.

FormerΒ I’m A CelebΒ campmateΒ Sue CleaverΒ left her role asΒ Eileen Grimshaw behind, whilstΒ Daisy MidgeleyΒ (played byΒ Charlotte Jordan)Β flew abroad for a new life in the sun.

Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) wasΒ dramatically killed off, while fans are currently witnessing theΒ decline of Debbie WebsterΒ (Sue Devaney) fromΒ Dementia.

ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap.

This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama.

This is afterΒ ITV slashed the number of weekly episodesΒ of their entire soap offering.

Emmerdale used to air six episodes per week, Monday to Friday with a double episode on Thursdays.

Corrie also aired six episodes per week, which were spread across Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with two episodes each night.

Now just five 30-minute episodes of each soap will air in what execs have labelled as the ‘soap power hour’.
