    Clare Cooper who played Jacqui in HO is stunning in real life, in my opinion, but always looked completely different as Jacqui - much harder faced.

    I also think Kellie Bright and Maddy Hill who play Linda and Nancy in EE are extremely pretty in real life (Kellie looks so much younger), and aren't always done justice by their clothes and styling when they're in character. Although I actually love Nancy's style, to be fair.

    Linda Henry. When she had that Rod Stewart hair I wondered if the producers had made her grow it like that for Shirley!

    The Heather Trott actress. She looks so much better in adult clothes and not some ridiculous Heather costume.

    Maddy Hill definitely she looks sooo much better dressed feminine. They do a good Job disguising her looks.

    Yes she is very pretty in RL. Agreed about Claire Cooper too.

    Nicole Barber-Lane is a lot better looking in real life than Myra ever was. Barber-Lane is actually only 6 years older than Claire Cooper, who played Jacqui McQueen, her on-screen eldest daughter. Wouldn't think it! To think Barber-Lane was only 31 as well when she began playing Myra!

    I have to agree. Patsy Palmer always looks absolutely amazing off screen.
    I also think Jo Joyner looks much better in real life aswell

    Gemma Oaten who played Rachel in Emmerdale. She's a really pretty girl in real life but not as Rachel.

    I thought Claire Cooper was very sexy as Jacqui, but agree that she looks softer and prettier in real life. Also, agree about Mandip Gill. They make her look more tomboyish on the show, but she's really pretty outside of the show.

    I haven't seen her in 'real life' but i'd bet the girl who plays Sophie's new gf in Corrie, srubs up really well.:)

    I know she's left recently but Rachael off ED was stunning in real life. But she always had her hair tied back and wore tacky clothes

    The incredibly gorgeous Claire Cooper (Jacqui HO)

    Agree that Mandip (Phoebe HO) and Maddy (Nancy EE) are very pretty when they are not dressed as their characters. Even as their characters their pretty, but they look very different all dressed up.

    Jennie McAlpine always looks loads prettier than her character Fiz in Corrie.
    David Neilson who plays Roy Cropper scrubbed up well at the soap awards, nothing like his dowdy character.
