Former Coronation Street star Suranne Jones has left fans stunned after revealing an unexpected chapter in her life—her brief stint as a rap artist before stepping into the limelight as an actress.
The 45-year-old actress, best known for her roles in hit dramas like Doctor Foster and Vigil, shared the surprising revelation during a recent interview. Jones admitted that, in her younger years, she dabbled in rap music under the alias "Sway" before pivoting to acting.
From Mic to Screen
Jones, who played Karen McDonald on the iconic ITV soap from 2000 to 2004, confessed that her rap aspirations were short-lived. "I was terrible," she laughed, recalling her brief foray into music. "Luckily, acting worked out better."
Her unexpected past has since gone viral, with fans expressing shock and amusement at the revelation. Many took to social media to joke about a potential "Sway comeback tour."
A Versatile Career
Since leaving Corrie, Jones has cemented herself as one of Britain’s most respected actresses, starring in critically acclaimed series and even earning a BAFTA for her performance in Doctor Foster.
While her rap career may not have taken off, her acting prowess has undoubtedly made her a household name. Fans are now eagerly awaiting her next project—whether on-screen or, perhaps, a surprise return to the mic.
