Kerri Quinn

As acting jobs go, a starring role on Coronation Street is about as epic as it gets.

And for North Belfast mum Kerri Quinn bagging a spot on the show – along with some of the biggest names in soapland – is up there with her biggest achievements. 

“I’m loving it,” said the 36-year-old. “ It’s an iconic show . I grew up with it because my mum and dad are big fans. 

“I’ve been acting all my life, from a young age, and I was terrified on my first day. It has been the highest point in my career. You get in a taxi in Belfast and they go, ‘Right, you act? So what have you done?’
