Former Coronation Street actress Katherine Kelly is one busy woman. While some stars struggle to find roles after quitting soapland, her career has gone from strength to strength.

Recent TV projects include Ruby Speaking, Mr Bates vs The Post Office and Inside No 9, while her last two small screen performances have seen her play people on the right side of the law in Protection and The Crow Girl.

However, she'll be getting up to all sorts of mischief in new six-part crime thriller In Flight (the first three episodes of which can be seen this week), although everything her character, flight attendant Jo Conran, does is under duress.
