She usually looks glamorous for a night out on the town.
But former Coronation street star Sacha Parkinson was barely recognisable as she transformed into the popular Shameless character, Frank Gallagher, for Michelle Keegan's Coronation Street leaving party on Friday night.
The actress joined the rest of her former co-stars as they bid the 26-year-old star farewell with a hilarious 'chav-themed' bash at Manchester's Black Dog Ballroom.

The 22-year-old nailed the theme with her costume as she donned Frank's classic outfit which consists of a green parka jacket, blue jeans and a baggy grey top.
Hiding her blonde locks under a dark, curly wig, the actress created the impression of a beard and chest hair to complete her look.
With a glass of beer in one hand and a cigarette in her mouth, the blonde beauty looked proud of her successful portrayal.
Frank was a character from the popular Channel 4 comedy-drama series set in Manchester, on the fictional Chatsworth council estate.

Back in the day: Sacha Parkinson as her Coronation Street character, Sian Powers
Michelle was joined by her boyfriend Mark Wright as she enjoyed one last hurrah with her friends and co-stars after she filmed her last-ever scene as Tina McIntyre on Thursday.
The 26-year-old made sure to say goodbye to the ITV1 show in a style that would make her character proud as she rocked a black crop top, bright pink bra and black disco pants.
Sporting a heavier make-up look than she would normally wear, the actress completed the outfit as she styled her raven locks into an impressively voluminous 'do.
Her normal style: The blonde actress has gone on to star in My Mad Fat Diary and Casualty since she left the soap in 2011
End of an era: Ensuring she well and truly looked the part as she strutted to her bash in a black crop top, pink bra and black disco pants, accessorised with numerous tacky chains
Tone things down a tad in Michelle's neutral shoes
As if Michelle Keegan's legs didn't look long enough in her shiny black disco pants, she only went and paired it with these platform heels!
Fancy dress is always a little tricky. Do you go all out, à la Sacha Parkinson, who rocked up to the chav-themed party dressed as Shameless' Frank Gallagher? We're definitely more on Michelle's wavelength, who kept some semblance of style when it came to her shoes.
They are by Carvela at Kurt Geiger and you can buy them by clicking the link (right) now. We love that the white straps are actually a subtle snakeskin texture and although they're also available in orange, neutral tones promise to lengthen those legs.
They wouldn't work particularly well on the cobbles of Corrie, but vertiginous heels give any look a lift and promise to take your style to supermodel heights.
But if the price of these platforms puts you off, there are plenty of options out there. Boohoo have got a bargain buy, or we're struggling to choose between these Topshop and Asos shoes.
By her side: Her fiance Mark Wright was on hand to support her beau in tight white short-shorts
Michelle took to Twitter on Thursday night to say thank you to her fans and co-stars who had supported her throughout her six years on Coronation Street as the popular Tina McIntyre.
Writing in a series of posts, she said: 'Today has been one of the most overwhelming days I've ever had. Thankyou SO much for everyone's tweets, messages and kind words...
'I'll be forever in debt to Coronation Street and ITV for giving me the role of Tina, I'm going to miss her, and everyone at Corrie...
'Thank U for all the support over the last 6 n a half yrs. I'll always have a piece of Tina with me- It's inevitable I have her earrings! (sic)'.
That's the spirit: (L-R) Georgia May Foote, Amy Kelly, Tisha Merry and the rest of the cast turned out in style for the hilarious leaving bash
