Career

Before landing her role in Coronation Street , Hudson worked as a professional dancer and theatre actress. [2] She was also a regular panellist on the ITV talk show Loose Women during 2005. [4] She later landed a role in the ITV drama Wild at Heart . [9] In 2016, she portrayed the role of Rhiannon Davis in the BBC soap opera Doctors . [10] Hudson stated that despite appearing on Doctors for a short amount of time, she felt like "part of the furniture", and that her co-stars and the production team were "lovely". [11] After scenes depicting Rhiannon having a breakdown and her eventual arrest were aired, numerous viewers voiced via social media that Hudson and Doctors itself "deserve awards" for the "emotional" storyline. [12] A year later, for her portrayal of Rhiannon, Hudson won the award for Villain of the Year at the 2017 British Soap Awards. After winning the award, she stated that she was shocked to be nominated in the villain category, as Rhiannon is not "your stereotypical villain at all", and is rather a "depressive character".
