The 27-year-old actress - who hasn't put her acting talents to the test since last September - has landed a role in the Channel 4 soap and has already started shooting her scenes.

A source told The Sun Online: "Chelsee has landed a role. It's her return to acting and it's very exciting for both parties."

Although the brunette beauty has already been spotted on set, bosses are determined to keep details surrounding her role tightly under wraps until she actually appears on screen.

This will be Chelsee's first television role since she finished her stint as big-haired tea lady Honey Wright in 'Casualty' - a role she portrayed on and off for 11 months - last year.

Before that, Chelsee portrayed Janeece Bryant on the BBC school drama series 'Waterloo Road' from 2006 until 2009 before reprising the role in 2010 for two years.

In between her acting gigs, the star has appeared in a series of reality TV shows, including 'Strictly Come Dancing', in which she came second, and 'Bear Grylls: Mission Survive'.

Meanwhile, this won't be the first time Chelsee has graced the fictional village in Chester as she also played Michelle - the ex-girlfriend of Danny Valentine (David Judge) - in 2007.
