Mrs Crawshaw (Carla Mendonca) has appeared in Coronation Street for a while now, but did you know the actress used to play an iconic kids TV character?

Carla is most known for playing the role of Sophie Johnson in CITV’s My Parents Are Aliens.

Airing from 1999-2006, the show follows the lives of three orphaned children – Mel, Josh and Lucy and their foster parents Brian (Tony Gardner) and Sophie.

The children soon discover their new parents are aliens and crashed landed on Earth after Brian tampered with the spaceship controls.

Mel, Josh and Lucy must do their best to teach Sophie and Brian how to live on Earth as of course, being aliens, they have a very muddled knowledge of human life.

Over in Coronation Street, Mrs Orla Crawshaw has mainly been seen overseeing Daniel Osbourne’s (Rob Mallard) lessons following his venture into teaching.

She also tried to get to the bottom of Max’s (Paddy Bever) allegation that Daniel had been sleeping with Summer (Harriet Bibby).

Most recently, Mrs Crawshaw attempted to put a stop to Amy’s (Elle Mulvaney) protest after she discovered her school mates had regularly been upskirted or sexually harassed.
