There was a beaming soul wandering Leeds city centre this morning, when Angela Griffin got to meet Vanessa and work colleague Alison.
Probably best known for her role as hairdresser Fiona Middleton in Coronation Street, she has also appeared in Emmerdale, Holby City, Cutting It and Waterloo Road.
Most recently, she has been in Sky One comedy Mount Pleasant (a personal favourite of mine - Wee John lookalike Bobby Ball is a co-star) and The Great Sport Relief Bake-Off where she was a finalist.
But today was the day when Ms Griffin finally knew for sure that, if you work hard enough at it, showbiz does bring its rewards.
I would expect her to speak of nothing else for the remainder of her lifetime.
