Lindsay will lend her vocal talents to the character of Piella Bakewell in A Matter of Loaf And Death, which will air on BBC One later in the year.
Creator Nick Park said he wanted to cast Lindsay as soon as he heard her voice on the radio.
"I was driving along the M5 listening to a radio interview and heard this colourful and characterful voice - it was a perfect match for Wallace," Park recalled.
"I have been searching for a while and keeping my ears peeled since I started writing, wondering who might voice Wallace's love interest.
"When I heard Sally on the radio I knew she was the one."
A Matter of Loaf And Death revolves around Wallace and his faithful dog Gromit running a bakery business.
The characters last appeared together in the 2005 film Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
Lindsay played barmaid Shelly Unwin on the long-running ITV soap from 2001 to 2006.
