CORONATION Street legend Tracy Shaw is unrecognisable as she poses in sexy glasses two decades after she was axed from the show.

The 49-year-old smouldered as she gazed into the camera for a selection of selfies that she shared with fans on Instagram.

Wearing a pair of tortoise shell glasses and a soft smokey eye, Tracy gave a slight smile in one of her shots.

Her long blonde hair flowed past her shoulders in waves and she added a natural gloss over her lips.

Tracy wearing a low cut black lace top with long sleeves, she showed off her radiant complexion.

"A week of auditions and self tapes," she wrote and added a shocked face emoji.
