Corrie’s Jennie McAlpine on feeling like a newbie and why I’m a Celeb is the only reality show for her.
As bubbly Fiz Stape, actress Jennie McAlpine has been a regular on the Corrie cobbles for 17 years. But soap fans saw a new side to the star when she jetted down under to take part in the latest series of ITV’s I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here. Now, after a short screen break, Jennie, 34, is back with a bang, as next week Fiz will discover partner Tyrone had a one-night stand with Gemma. Here Jennie, who secretly tied the knot with Chris Farr in 2017, opens up about filming her catfight, being reunited with her son Albert, three, following her jungle stint and why, nearly two decades on, she still feels like a soap newcomer…
‘I’ve got renewed energy since coming back from the jungle even though I was deprived of food and sunlight! We had awful weather, but that was good as I’m a redhead. And that’s one of the reasons, genuinely, that I thought I’d never do I’m a Celeb. But it feels so long ago now. At Corrie, we’ve got straight back in with a big storyline with lots of scenes – shouting at Tyrone, like I’ve never been away!’
