This is inspired by the thread about Tracey Anne Oberman in an ariel ad)

What soap stars can you thyink of who have appeared in adverts before they were famous?

I remember seeing Suranne Jones from Corrie in a Malteasers advert (the one where she keeps turning the car around so that her friend's malteasers, which are on the dashboard, will roll over to her)

Also, Kate Ford was in an advert for McVities biscuits.

Any more?

Are soap stars aloud to appear in adverts while they are still in a soap?

I used to like that advert but I only found out it was Suranne a couple of weeks ago!!

Ross Kemp was in an advert before Eastenders, but I can't remember what it was for?

And Joe Absolom was in an advert before he was in Eastenders but I can't remember what that was for either

I'm sure it will come to me!

Oh yeah, you're right Shewolf...although it's Clover isn't it?

Awful advert anyway, she looks completely out of it. In fact they all do..

They werent in soaps when they were in the adverts though, or were made before they appeared, or perhaps after they had appeared in soaps.

Yes, Ross Kemp did the fruit and fibre ad - someone posted a link for this a while back.

Leslie Grantham did one for (I think is was) Imperial Leather liquid soap... (although he was already famous.) He was in the bath and the ending was him saying "Not so Dirty Den now, am I?" or something similar.

Edit: here's the Fruit and Fibre ad:

Correction, Leslie did one for Radox Everfresh, here:

Tracey Anne Oberman (aka Chrissie Watts) also did a Ad for local Tele here in Wales. For Brace's bread. Not sure if it was before EE though.

Odd to see her in a Ad though for a Gwent bread maker!
