And she has revealed that one of her jobs saw her work alongside Michelle on Coronation Street.
Speaking exclusively, Janet told The Celeb Report: “I went to drama school and when I came out I got an agent and then suddenly I started to get small speaking roles.
“It was Heartbeat first and then Coronation Street.
“My first role on Corrie was with Fred Elliot and I was a doctor for his grandson, so a doctor first.
“Then years later I came back as a nurse for Ashley’s Peacock’s girlfriend, so linked to Fred again.
“Then years later I was a receptionist at an abortion clinic, with Michelle Keegan when she first started out.
“It was one of her first jobs, but she was lovely, really really nice.
“The scene was funny because I think you literally just saw my ear and heard my voice. We all got round the TV, like ‘it’s going to be on, it’s going to be on’, and you just saw my ear.”
As well as appearing on TV, Janet is a drama teacher and runs her own performing arts school in Doncaster.
So she finds it “hilarious” Love Island fans have branded her a “Corrie star”.
Janet laughed: “For Corrie it’s always small parts, I wish I was a star but I’m not and that’s been my career path.
“Short, small parts on lots of things, which I love and I’m really happy doing.
“In between doing all that I’m a teacher, helping students fulfil their dreams, then every now and then I get a call ‘you’ve got a part on..’.
“I’ve done Hollyoaks, Still Open All Hours… but nothing that I could afford to leave my job for.”
Viewers branded Molly a “producer plant” over her mum’s link to fame.
And they pointed to the fact Molly had already visited the villa twice as an influencer.
Janet added: “When she went to the villa before that was as her job, there was no other reason, it was just her job, doing what she’d been asked to do.
“So no. She’s being totally herself, what you see is what you get.”
