Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver has confirmed her future on the cobbles as she prepares to take a break. While the actress won't be using her time off to put her feet up, she'll instead be treading the boards as she returns to her theatre roots.
Sue is famed for playing Eileen Grimshaw in the ITV soap having made her debut in the role in May 2000, with her first scenes alongside now-Emmerdale star Chris Bisson, who played Vikram Desai.
However, it wasn’t her first role in the Salford-based soap as five years before she had played a hospital nurse who was present when Daniel Osbourne was born.
But Sue, 60, is currently taking a break from the soap as she is set to perform in the Olivier Award-nominated production of Sister Act The Musical and has already spent a week in rehersals.
