'I was working in Tesco but then landed my dream job on Coronation Street'

Coronation Street newbie Sydney Martin, 22, landed her first TV role as Betsy Swain, in the ITV soap, catching her big break while working at Tesco six days a week

Coronation Street fans have been introduced to newcomer Betsy this week, played by Sydney Martin, as her identity as DS Lisa Swain's daughter is finally unveiled.

The actress auditioned for a couple of smaller roles for the soap in January this year, which she didn’t land. However, her luck changed two weeks later, when she was given a call back for a series regular. “I did go to Tesco to hand my notice in first,” she chuckled. Although she did explain that her dad told her she shouldn’t have handed it in so soon. “‘They’re not going to give you a reference at Tesco!’” he exclaimed, although hilariously, Sydney assured him she wouldn’t need a reference from the supermarket.
