Coronation Street's Kym Marsh has jumped to the defence of her new co-star Sarah Harding after Harding received negative reviews for her performance.

Former Girls Aloud singer Harding is currently appearing as Joni Preston in a four-episode arc on the ITV soap.

Sarah Harding as Joni

Marsh said in an interview with OK! Magazine: "I feel for her as it's hard for anyone to come into a long-running TV show with such well-loved characters.

"Sarah's first scene was with Rita in The Kabin and of course she's going to be compared with actors like that."

She added: "Don't forget, she was probably nervous too. I know I was when I came into the show."

maybe these singers should stick to what their "best" at, get damn good character actresses for ACTING!!
I would rather watch an actress acting, than a singer acting--

There's a very long tradition of singers becoming actors. I don't care what their previous career was as long as they can actually act, and they got the part fairly (ie not stunt casting for PR purposes). Unfortunately, that wasn't the case with Sarah Harding, but I think Kym Marsh is an OK actress. I don't like her character Michelle - but that's another story!

Would that include Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, John Leyton, David Essex......?

I'm not quite sure how serious your list is since Frank Sinatra was a credible actor and Oscar winner (and there are lots of others, ie Barbara Streisand, Jennifer Hudson, Will Smith (all Oscar winners) and Mark Wahlberg (Oscar nominated) off the top of my head). Rappers also quite often pop up in US TV shows, and some of them are decent enough.

I don't see the problem as people change careers all the time. Stunt casting of famous people who're terrible actors is another matter! Let's hope Corrie have learned their lesson...
