2. Katie Redford
Coronation Street is a massive show with a legion of fans, so it is easy to see why any actor or actress would be thrilled to land a part on it. Katie Redford secured the role as Bethany Platt, the 14-year-old daughter of Sarah. Katie claimed to be 19 years old, but she was actually 25 years old when she was cast. That would have made her 11 years older than her character, and only two years younger than her on-screen mother. However, this story does not have a happy ending like the rest. When it was discovered that Katie lied about her age, she was fired from the soap.
