According to a new report, Leanne Brown has hired an acting coach as she is "desperate" to land an acting role on Coronation Street. It's also been reported that the former Real Housewives of Cheshire star has been receiving acting tips from soap star Sheree Murphy.
"Leanne's got a taste for acting after all the drama on Real Housewives. It's one of her long-term ambitions, so she's hired an acting coach and she's taking private lessons," a source told The Sun. "She wants to be in Corrie and has made it her goal to appear on the show. She's good friends with Sheree Murphy too, so she's been getting advice and tips from her from her soap days.
"She really wants to make it happen and all her friends say she's actually really talented."
As previously reported, Brown dramatically left the show shortly before the seventh season aired. Leanne and Dawn were best pals in the first few seasons, with Leanne often sticking up for Dawn in arguments.
But following a fall-out over a loan, Leanne and Dawn became enemies, with the pair locked in a legal dispute that was often referenced on the show. Leanne often ended up in tears in later seasons, as she struggled to film with Dawn.
The fall-out eventually became too much for Leanne to deal with and she quit the show. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News about her decision Leanne said: “It was really difficult making the decision to leave, I loved my time on the show, and I never say never about going back, but with things as they are I won’t be going back, it’s just too difficult. It was affecting me and my family.”
Leanne now plans to focus on channeling her energy into her charity efforts, especially with charities empowering women. She is now raising funds for charity One Woman At A Time. with the launch of a T-shirt range with Irlam clothing firm OBD (obdclothing.co.uk). Back in March, she hosted an Empowerment Ball earlier.
