SHE'S gone from selling soap one moment to being in one the next - and it's been a dream come true for Coronation Street star Sydney Mason.
The 22-year-old was working six days a week in Tesco when she landed the role of feisty teenager Betsy in the ITV show.
But while ditching her supermarket job was a no-brainer for Sydney, her dad was less convinced.
The actress said: "I went to Tesco and handed in my notice, then told my parents.
"My dad was like, 'No, you shouldn't have handed your notice in'. He asked me, 'Are you sure? Have you signed the contract?" "He even said I wouldn't get a reference from Tesco now."
DRAMA
Sydney was shocked when her agent called to say she had landed her first TV job on one of the world's longest-running soap operas.
Recalling the moment the phone rang, Sydney said: "I was with my flatmates, watching Pitch Perfect it was the opening credits. I said, 'It's going to be a no, so just keep watching. And then my agent said, 'Go hand in your notice!'
"My flatmate picked me up and we just cried together. We didn't finish Pitch Perfect." Sydney originally had very different career plans, until she caught the acting bug in her late teens.
