Lorraine Kelly, Little Mix and Liz Dawn have filmed a special Coronation Street sketch for ITV1's Text Santa fundraising appeal.

Benidorm actress Sheila Reid was also among the guests for A Christmas Corrie, based on Charles Dickens's classic tale A Christmas Carol.

Reid and Daybreak host Kelly play police officers who are seen arresting show regular Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) in the mini-episode.

Kelly commented: "I am absolutely beside myself. I am a massive fan of Corrie and have been since I was a little girl.

"It's always been an ambition of mine to appear, even if it's just in the background of the Rovers having a hot pot or a pint of stout, but this is even better as I get to play a character."

Meanwhile, Little Mix perform in the Rovers, and Dawn's popular character Vera Duckworth returns as a ghost.

Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall said: "We've watched [Coronation Street] for years and years. Since we were little, and to be here is surreal but it's amazing, isn't it?

"It's really nice being a part of Text Santa, but at the same time doing something we've always wanted to do."

Text Santa airs on Friday, December 21 from 8pm on ITV1.

Little mix going to be fun

Love Madge's police scooter xD

Yeah i know

It will be nice to see Liz in it again.

Madge and Vera, sounds fun:D.

I'm guessing this is what Bill Tarmey would have been appearing in too :(
