The gorgeous 27-year-old star is set for the big screen in her latest project announced this afternoon, Strangeways Here We Come.

Stephen Lord will star in and produce new film, which began filming yesterday, alongside Elaine Cassidy, Corrie babe Michelle and Lauren Socha.

The movie is said to follow the residence of Owen Street, Salford, as they get sucked into loans and trapped by the astronomical interest rates of evil loan shark Danny Nolan (Stephen Lord).

Nina Wadia, Channel Cresswell and Peter Caulfield join them on the mean and funny streets of Salford as this brutal comedy unfolds with a whodunit story that crackles with wicked laughs and turns leaving the audience on the edge of their seats.

Star of the film and producer, Stephen Lord, said:  “I am very excited regarding our first production Strangeways Here We Come through our brand new production Company Collateral.

"We have a fantastic ensemble of talented actors and great crew, who are really committed to the film and I am very grateful and excited about filming in my home town of Salford."

He added: "It’s a great script that can be executed well by writer and director and fellow Salfordian Chris Green"

Michelle is clearly excited about the prospect of the movie as she posted a picture to her Twitter account yesterday of her make-up department.

Sat in her chair, Michelle said: "1st day of filming on my new job! #backtoit"

The star had taken her glasses off and let slip her character's name, written on a sticker on her make-up bag: Demi.
