THE acting career of Radcliffe's Stacey Winfield is on the up and up!

No sooner had she finished filming scenes opposite Jude Law in the Hollywood re-make of Alfie, than she's causing a commotion in Coronation Street.

Stacey (37) a former pupil of Radcliffe High School and glamour model, filmed her Weatherfield scenes at Granada TV last week.

"My character is a bit of a bitch but with good reason to be! She is not going to take any grief, just give it," explained Stacey, who now lives in Alderley Edge.

She revealed that her character had been brought into "Corrie" to ruffle some feathers between Dev and his new love interest.

Stacey, who grew up in Countess Lane narrowly missed out on playing the part of nasty barmaid Tanya.

Her family, who still live in Radcliffe, can't wait until December when her scenes will be broadcast.
