Natalie Gumede is back on our screens in Death in Paradise tonight (June 18).
But the tropical crime drama isn’t her most famous role to date.
So where else do you know her from? Read on and we’ll fill you in!
Who is Death in Paradise star Natalie Gumede?
Natalie is a familiar face after a long stint in popular soap Coronation Street where she struck fear into viewers with her portrayal of violent abuser Kirsty Soames.
The creepy manipulator exited our screens some years ago now. But Kirsty has stuck in the minds of fans of the cobbled street thanks to her portrayal of the chilling character.
Natalie joined Corrie in September 2011.

Her character became involved in a tumultuous relationship with Tyrone Dobbs as the result of a bet with Tommy Duckworth.
The on-screen police officer became abusive in her relationship with victim Tyrone, physically attacking and beating him.
The couple ended up having a baby girl, Ruby, together in 2012.
However, things only got worse when Tyrone proposed to Kirsty in an attempt to gain custody of their daughter as she had left his name off the birth certificate.
But on their wedding day Kirsty lost the plot after discovering Tyrone had been seeing Fiz behind her back.
She found a string of texts between the pair revealing all.
What happened to Kirsty?
The events that ensued led to a vicious attack where she pushed Tyrone down the stairs.

But Tyrone was put on trial when Kirsty blamed him for attacking her in spite of his innocence.
However, she eventually turned up at court and confessed all.
Natalie exited the show in 2013 when Kirsty was taken into custody, and the character was consequently sentenced to 12 months in prison.

Tyrone and Fizz have since referred Kirsty when they received anonymous abusive texts they suspected were from her.
But any return for the crazed character has been ruled out.
Kirsty is set to be killed off behind the scenes, it’s been revealed.
Natalie previously hinted that she did not want to bring the character back even if the opportunity arose.
She said: “Would I go back to Corrie if they decided to bring Kirsty out of prison? I think my time there was wonderful, but complete.”
