Zöe Lucker
- Actress
Yorkshire-born Zoe Lucker has been on our screens a lot in recent years
in TV dramas such as "Holby City", Trial & Retribution IV - Part One (2000), Barabara, Brazen Hussies (1996) and
Coronation Street (1960), where she played Sonia Leech, owner of the beauty parlour
where Raquel worked.
But it's her role as Tanya Turner in Footballers' Wives (2002) that she really loves. She adores her character ("We're both survivors, but I wouldn't use people the way she does to get on in life"), the stunning clothes, the dramatic scenes with screen husband Cristian Solimeno - and she's even learnt to live with her extra-long fake fingernails. The only part she hated was filming the opening sequence in a pool because, probably just like Tanya, she's not keen on swimming and prefers to keep her head above water. However, 28-year-old Lucker really is keen on football, and once bid successfully at a charity auction for a tour of Leeds United football ground.
