Helen celebrates 10 years on Coronation Street

Over the last 10 years Helen's character Rosie Webster has transformed from a sweet schoolgirl into a minx on the Street.

Helen, who went to Westholme School in Blackburn, says she is happy with Rosie's changes. She said: 'I've grown with her although I'm nothing like her. She's gone through so many changes, from being a little girl through her gothic phase and falling in love with Craig, to going off the rails. It was a bit bizarre at school but I've never known anything different. Westholme was really good about giving me time off for filming and I've always been the Corrie girl.'
