Coronation Street star Lisa George is finally going to show viewers her hidden talent this weekend. Viewers will best know the actress for playing Beth Sutherland in the ITV soap.
But on Sunday night (April 3), Lisa is swapping the cobbles of Weatherfield for the bright lights of the stage when fans will get to see her transform for ITV's All Star Musicals.

And a set of first-look pictures released last week of Lisa's transformation rendered her unrecognisable as she ditched her Corrie character's trademark blonde locks and 80s-inspired look for a cropped black wig and kimono-style gown as she channelled Sally Bowles, the role made famous by Hollywood icon Liza Minnelli, in Cabaret.
Ahead of her appearance on the programme, Lisa spoke to Ranvir Singh on ITV's Lorraine on Friday (April 1) where she revealed that singing was one of her first loves, but her confidence was knocked during her early years and was even sacked from a job as they told her she 'couldn't sing'.
She explained that she’d been singing throughout her childhood and teens in school and church choirs before winning a signing scholarship at drama school.

Coronation Street fans have been full of praise for Daniel Brocklebank and Harriet Bibby after the pair shared emotional scenes during Monday night's episode.
He holds the Guinness World Record for being the longest-running TV soap star but does Coronation Street legend William Roache plan to retire any time soon? We wouldn't put any bets on it.
Coronation Street is renowned for its long-standing characters - from Ken Barlow to Rita Tanner. But over the past year, some fresh-faced stars have taken to the cobbles in some of the ITV soap's most hard-hitting storylines to date.
Coronation Street fans were in tears when much-loved character Sinead Osbourne, nee Tinker, died in 2019 after battling cervical cancer. In heartbreaking scenes the newlywed and new mum passed away with her husband Daniel by her side.
Coronation Street star Simon Gregson has reportedly been given a warning to clean up his antics by his soap bosses. It comes after he was said to be involved in a drunken brawl last week. The I'm A Celeb star, who plays one of the soap's longest-serving characters Steve McDonald, was allegedly called in by bosses to discuss his behaviour at a Toby Carvery, which is being investigated by Merseyside Police.
Billy Mayhew has been Weatherfield's very own vicar for eight years now and has seen his fair share of drama on the cobbles - particularly when it comes to matters of the heart.
Coronation Street newcomer Phill Whittaker arrived onto the cobbles last summer. The character was at the centre of one of the ITV soap's juicy storylines, as he was introduced as Fiz Stape's new love interest after her long-term relationship with Tyrone Dobbs broke down following his affair with Alina Pop.

The actor is best known for playing Craig Tinker in the ITV soap who has had a complicated start to the year after he had to quit his beloved job as a PC after helping cover up his girlfriend Faye Windass and her pal Emma Brooker's secret.
Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd wowed fans as he showcased an eye-catching look for the new season. The David Platt actor was embracing the sunshine as he reached for an animal print black and white short-sleeved shirt. And his sharp look was a far cry from the hoodies and denim jackets favoured by his soap character.
Sally Dynevor made her return to the cobbles of Coronation Street on Friday night after taking a brief break. The soap icon took part in the 2022 series of Dancing On Ice.
She's been gone a while as Sally Dynevor took a break from the cobbles to appear on Dancing On Ice, but her soap star character Sally Metcalfe is back.

After just three months on the cobbles Rebecca Ryan has bowed out of Coronation Street as Lydia Chambers.
