ITV Coronation Street fans stunned as well-known star pops up on the street

Coronation Street fans were left stunned tonight as a well-known star popped up on the Cobbles.

Tonight saw Jane from Radio Weatherfield interview Gemma and Chesney about their quadruplets.

In the Rovers, everyone gathered round to listen, but when Chesney admitted they’re not married, Jane urged the listeners to tweet their support for Gemma and Chesney to marry.

But it wasn't long before viewers recognised Jane from another well-known show.

Jane - played by Lauren Drummond- is best known for playing the role of Mika Grainger in the BBC school-based drama Waterloo Road.

The 31-year-old, from Cheadle, starred as Mika from the show's inception in March 2006 alongside Adam Thomas who played Donte Charles.

She has since gone on to have a regular role in Holby City and guest roles in Silent Witness and The Dumping Ground.

Laura said: "It’s Mika from Waterloo Road!"

Another wrote: "Mika from Waterloo Road omg."

Josie said: "Oh my god...Was racking my brain thinking of where I had seen her before!"

And Kate tweeted: "Mika from Waterloo Road as a radio host?"

*Coronation Street continues at 7:30pm on ITV on Wednesday
