Corrie Fans Were Not At All Impressed With Sarah Harding’s Debut

Sarah Harding made her highly-anticipated Coronation Street debut this week... And according to Twitter, it was a bit of an anti-climax to say the least. The singer made her Corrie debut this week.  The former Girls Aloud singer, who plays Robert Preston's jilted wife Joni Preston on the ITV soap, certainly made a dramatic entrance. Minutes after her arrival on the cobbles, she slaps love rival Tracey Barlow (Kate Ford) in the face. However, it seems Sarah might have gotten a slap in the face herself when she saw the reception on Twitter. Fans of the hit soap took to the social media site to slam her acting skills.

She's no actress that's for sure. Couldn't believe how wooden she was. #HardingDoesCorrie #corrie — Brett McCormack (@BristolDale1) July 23, 2015

Despite the negative reaction on Twitter, producers are apparently impressed with the 33-year-old and have extended her contract with the soap.
