This week, we’re joined by Jayne Tunnicliffe, who played chavvy chippy worker Yana Lumb on Corrie back in the mid 2000s. Jayne opens up about her long and varied career in showbiz, and how it led to her securing the part of Cilla’s tarty mate for a one-off appearance that went on to be a recurring role for a couple of years. Whether deep frying a turkey or sitting in a bath of mushy peas, Yana was always doing something to make viewers laugh, and here, Jayne recalls many of her happy memories working on the show.
