Corrie star flooded with compliments as she shows transformation into sinkhole Shona

Coronation Street star Julia Goulding has been flooded with compliments after showing her soap transformation.

The actress is best known for playing Shona Platt in the ITV soap and become a hero during last week's "Super Soap Week".

Shona was responsible for saving Jenny's life after she was swallowed up by the sinkhole that was in their back garden.

While she managed to pull Jenny to safety, the same couldn't be said for Johnny who had also attempted to save his ex-wife.

In tragic scenes, Johnny was seen losing consciousness before drowning in the Victorian sewers' rising water.

After the scenes aired, Julia took to Instagram with a behind-the-scenes look at the stunt filming.

One showed her transformation into Shona - then Shona who has been down a drain to save her neighbours.

"Coming into work… becoming Shona… Shona after her rescue mission… @coronationstreet #supersoapweek," she shared alongside the snap.

And her Corrie co-stars were among the first to comment.

Toyah Battersby actress Georgia Taylor said: "Fit times 3."

"Absolutely would," co-star Sally Carman, who plays Abi Franklin, added.

A fan replied: "You are absolutely gorgeous."

"Gorgeous in all 3! Fantastic actress," another said.

A third fan added: "Still beautiful even after climbing down the drain."

"Stunning as always," a fourth shared.

Julia then followed up the post with another selfie, commenting: "For those asking how I managed to get this look, it’s so easy and simple, just get dunked in a giant tank of water for a week!

"Disclaimer: That was a joke, dont do it, I really don’t advise it ."

Corrie's Daisy actress Charlotte Jordan replied: "So pwetty."

And Georgia kept the compliments coming, adding: "You still look beautiful. I’d’ve looked like mashed potatoes."

Julia also shared a snap of her and Jenny actress Sally Ann Matthews cuddling up in the water during filming.

"Such a fun week filming! @sallyannmatthews @coronationstreet #supersoapweek," she captioned the Instagram post.

And in another, the cast were keeping entertained with a beach ball in the custom-made pool at Space Studios where the scenes were filmed.
