She could be making a return
Coronation Street bosses have announced that Wendi Peters is returning to the show as Fiz and Chesney's outrageous mother Cilla Battersby-Brown.
Cilla will be back on screen for a guest stint, appearing back in Weatherfield for six weeks from October.
While the full storyline details are being kept under wraps for now, Cilla's shock comeback will lead to Fiz's temporary departure from the show as actress Jennie McAlpine will go on maternity leave in the autumn.
Speaking of her return, Peters commented: "I'm really thrilled to have the opportunity to revisit Cilla and the cobbles for a short while and to see what she has been up to for the last seven years."
Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn added: "We can't wait to see Cilla back on the cobbles, she's a truly unforgettable character who is at the heart of Corrie's rich history."
Peters portrayed the role of Cilla between 2003 and 2007, shaking up life on the Street with her wayward behaviour. She later reprised the part in Corrie DVD spinoff Out of Africa in 2008.
Since leaving the cobbles, Peters has appeared in a number of theatre productions.

I can see her and Beth clashing, which should be fun to watch
I'm looking forward to this as I always found Cilla amusing.
is she still with les?
it will be interesting to see cilla again.
however i hope her short stint doesn't turn into a disaster. remember when bet returned. they need to make sure peter's doesn't turn cilla into a caricature. corrie has moved on.
