Career
Sanderson joined
Coronation Street in 1999 and left in Autumn 2005. Prior to this, she had
appeared in children's drama Children's Ward. In 2006, she appeared in a guest
role in the BBC television series New Street Law alongside other notable
Coronation Street alumni Chris Gascoyne and Chris Bisson. British newspaper The
Daily Express stated that she was in the running [citation needed] to replace
Billie Piper as the Doctor's companion in Doctor Who, however Freema Agyeman was
chosen for the role. Sanderson appeared in a production of The Vagina Monologues
in Blackpool in 2006. She will next appear in the ITV series Strictly
Confidential.
A naturally gifted
vocalist, Sanderson loves to show this side of herself off; jumping up to sing
at every opportunity, she is a self-confessed karaoke enthusiast. Recently she
has made several television appearances singing, most notably on ITV's Celebrity
Stars in Their Eyes, where her impression of LeAnn Rimes, singing the smash hit
theme from the film Coyote Ugly, 'Can't Fight The Moonlight' earned her the
winner's spot. She recently appeared on The X Factor: Battle Of The Stars in the
solo 16-24 category, mentored by Sharon Osbourne where she was eliminated 5th.
(It must be said, however, that Sanderson was suffering from tonsillitis at the
time and was straining her voice to sing.) Despite the exit from the show, she
hopes to perhaps one day pursue a music career.
She has appeared in
several British men's magazines in lingerie and other provocative outfits. In
June 2006, Sanderson made the cover of British men's magazine FHM and was the
headlining feature of the issue, combining a photo shoot and exclusive interview
with one of the magazine's journalists.
In May 2006 Sanderson
played for the England women's team in the Celebrity World Cup Soccer Six
tournament. Her stout performance helped her team to the final, although they
eventually lost.
She has worked as a
television presenter on CD:UK.
Personal life
Sanderson is from Bury,
Greater Manchester. She has dated her Coronation Street co-star Danny Young,
although their current relationship status is unknown.
