For her new character Rose, who has been deaf since birth, will play a deaf catering worker who becomes a heroine by lip-reading criminals' conversations to help to put them behind bars.
ITV's synopsis says: 'She's struggling to make ends meet, juggling two jobs, in a police canteen and a local bar, while also doing her best to support her deaf mum.
'When a policewoman calls on her to lip-read the conversations of dangerous criminals, she is plunged into a new, exhilarating world.'
Rose will star alongside Kieron Moore, Charlotte Ritchie and Andrew Buchan.
And ITV, Mammoth Screen and BritBox announced on Wednesday that filming has officially begun.

Alison is struggling to make ends meet, juggling two jobs, one in a police canteen and another in a local bar, while also doing her best to support her deaf mum, Julie (Fifi Garfield).
It's not long before Alison is pulled into a high-stakes police investigation when DS Ashleigh Francis (Charlotte Ritchie) asks that she use her lip-reading skills to monitor a dangerous criminal gang.
As her interpretation of their covert conversations becomes central to the investigation, Alison is plunged into an exhilarating new world.
Her role quickly becomes key to unlocking the police case, but her feelings become complicated when she finds herself drawn to one of the suspects, Liam Bayne (Kieron Moore).
Despite knowing the risks and the growing threat to her personal life, Alison can't let go.
The six-episode drama is Rose's first major role since winning Strictly in 2021 with Giovanni, who has since quit the dance show over bullying claims, which he denies.
They also won the 'must-see moment' award at the Baftas for their silent dance to Clean Bandit's song Symphony.
She left EastEnders in 2022, after playing deaf character Frankie Lewis for two years.
Earlier this year, she was awarded an MBE in the King's Birthday Honours for voluntary services to the deaf community.
Code of Silence will premiere in 2025 on ITV1 and will be available for streaming on ITVX.
