Vicky Entwistle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vicky Entwistle (born 15 September 1968 in Accrington, Lancashire) is an English actress who since 1997 has played the role of "loud mouth" factory worker, Janice Battersby in ITV1's long running soap opera, Coronation Street.
In January 2001, Vicky was arrested after allegedly head-butting a fan of Coronation Street[1].
Vicky also appeared on Stars In Their Eyes Celebrity as Bjork.
In early 2005, programme bosses announced that Entwistle's character was to be dropped from the show at the end of the year. However, following the appointment of a new producer (Steve Frost) at the end of 2005, it was revealed that Entwistle had been granted a "reprieve" and that her character would remain in the programme for the foreseeable future.
Vicky has recently achieved such a weight-loss through exercise and healthy eating that it has had to be written into the script.
