The Yorkshire lass is currently playing Carabosse in the pantomime Sleeping Beauty.

Paula has loved keeping fans up to date with all the backstage shenanigans and shares lots of snaps on social media.

She recently shared a stunning pic in her costume on Twitter with the caption: "40 winks between shows! #sleepingbaddie."

The soap star looked incredible with a dramatic smokey eye look, a bold red lip and pink cheeks.

Paula shared the same selfie on Instagram and her fans flocked to the comments section to praise her look.

One wrote: "Looking gorgeous Paula playing the baddie you will smash it off to a good start @paula_laney."

Another said: "You was a fantastic baddie we enjoyed the show so much."

A third chimed in: "I totally appreciate you so much, best beauty ever."

Kylie moved to Weatherfield in 2010 and it was revealed that she was Becky McDonald's half-sister.

Her alter-ego, who was married to David Platt, was involved in a number of hard hitting storylines including drug addiction, cheating on her husband with his brother Nick Tilsley and killing her son Max's dad Callum Logan.

In 2014 Paula left the soap for a short period of time for maternity leave and returned a year later.

But then in 2016 it was revealed she was leaving the hit show for good after falling pregnant with her second child.

In July that year Kylie was brutally killed by Clayton Hibbs just days before moving to Spain to forget about murdering Callum.

Since her stint in Corrie, Paula has starred in a number of TV shows including Call the Midwife.

Sleeping Beauty isn't her first time starring in theatre as she's played Lauren in Kinky Boots and Rachel in Be More Martyn.
