An aspiring Corrie star has plastered her face on a billboard at Media City in a bid to be cast in the soap.
Mariama Binta Bojang, 27, took action after struggling to find roles despite 100 auditions in the last seven months.
In her a desperate bid to find work, she paid £1,000 for two billboards - one near to the Salford studios where Coronation Street is filmed, and another in Leeds, next to the Emmerdale set.

The 48-sheet 6m by 3m billboard features her photo, contact details and says "Articulate Autistic Actor - Cast Now!".
Mariama, from Lindley, West Yorkshire, said: "Seeing myself on a billboard felt surreal and exciting!
"The idea hit me like a bolt of lightning one evening when I was at home contemplating what else I could do in order to boost my profile.
"Posting and tagging on social media seemed to only promote by personal brand so much.
"Acting is a business and requires clever PR just as much as talent and hard work.
"I contacted several media publicity companies for consultations and concluded that a 48 sheet static billboard next to a renowned television studio for two full weeks would be the best option in advertising myself on a bigger scale.
"I didn't feel weird at all seeing the billboard - I felt proud and accomplished, arguably more so than when I first saw myself on telly!"
Mariama started acting when she was three, after her mother enrolled her at the Annie Inglis Acting School.
Her most prominent role was a police officer in series two of ITV's Prey in 2015.
Since then, she has struggled to find work in TV shows again, and has been modelling instead.
Mariama said: "I specifically requested the advertisement be displayed next to ITV's 'Emmerdale' studios as it is more likely to reach my intended audience - casting directors and producers of the show.
"As it's on a static billboard instead of digital, it will statistically receive more views too.
"I have not yet had the privilege to audition for a role on any soap operas, but if I had a choice, my personal preference would be 'Coronation Street' followed by 'Emmerdale'.
"They are the nation's longest running and most well known soaps which brought me great joy and comfort growing up."
