Suranne Jones to feature in Sarah Jane Adventures

Suranne Jones, best known for her former role in Coronation Street, will appear in the third series of The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Her character is being kept under wraps, but producer Nikki Wilson says We conceived the character in a story meeting about 18 months ago and immediately named Suranne as perfect to play her - never imagining we'd actually get someone whos in so much demand. But as soon as she saw the script she said yes.

The story will also feature Jeff Rawle.
