'Coronation Street' star Debbie Rush is stressed about the new year.

The actress – who plays mouthy mum Anna Windass - has been given two weeks off from the ITV1 soap over the new year period, but has so many lines to learn and so much housework to do that she doesn't feel like she has any time off at all.

She told BANG Showbiz: "I've got two weeks off over the new year period but I just feel like I haven't got any time off at all. I've got mountains and mountains of scripts to learn because we're so busy on 'Corrie' when we get back.

"I've also got loads to do around the house! On New Year's Eve (31.12.10) we normally have a party at my house but we're going to a big dinner at a local restaurant. I'm just so tired this year!"

However, Debbie revealed she and co-star Mikey North (Gary Windass) have found time to squeeze in an appearance on game show 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'.

She added: "You'll hopefully be seeing me and Mickey on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire', which we're going on for the Royal British Legion and Coronation Street's three charities.

"It'll be live but I'm a dab hand at live TV after the live 'Corrie' episode."
