Viewers best know Lucy-Jo for her roles as Katy Harris in Coronation Street and Donna-Marie Quinn in Hollyoaks.
She wrote on Instagram: “Oh have I been dying to tell you this….
“Remember that face to face casting I had a couple of weeks ago? Well I only went and got the job.
“Ahhhhhhhhh I can’t believe it!!!! I am absolutely buzzing!!!! I honestly can’t believe it…. I am still in shock….. but so blumming happy I can’t tell you…. I am so grateful that I still get to do what I love to do.
“Thankyou for all the gorgeous messages from the last post I did about this “face to face casting” it meant the world to me.
“So I just wanted to share this news with you, not sure if can tell you what it is yet, but as soon as I can I will.”
She previously posted a humorous video on Instagram appearing to illustrate her depleting bank balance.
Lucy-Jo could be seen in her car as she captioned the video “mums bank balance during the summer holidays”.
The mother-of-two shares daughter Sienna with Coronation Street ex Alan Halsall.
She then told her followers: “Anyone else feeling the pinch? and it’s only half way through the 6 week holidays.
“Honestly if the weather was more consistent it would be “Park and Picnics” most of the time…. That simple, that easy and more importantly… affordable!
“I have to take a loan out just to feed my 2.”
However, the soap star made clear to fans through emojis that she was joking.
Elsewhere, the former Coronation Street cast member revealed how a recent audition process marked a major milestone.
She wrote on Instagram that the acting industry “has changed massively” since Covid – with in person meetings now very rare.
Lucy-Jo admitted she isn’t the biggest fan of self taping, which entails recording an audition from home to send in.
Therefore, she was thrilled by the opportunity to be face-to-face with a producer, director and casting directors.
The star added: “Like most people in my industry we don’t get this privilege… not anymore….
“Infact it’s been 7 years, since I was in an actual room with a casting team!!!!”
