Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver rushed to hospital after being 'knocked out' on soap set
Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver has revealed how she was once knocked out with an uppercut while filming a fight scene for the show.
The actress, 61, has spent nearly 25 years playing no-nonsense Eileen Grimshaw on the ITV soap, and has now recalled one of her most shocking moments on the set of the long-running programme.
She wrote in her new memoir 'A Work in Progress' that she was accidentally knocked out on set in 2012 with a punch from co-star Judy Holt, who played Lesley, the wife of Eileen's firefighter boyfriend Paul Kershaw.

An upward punch made contact with my face. I don't remember anything else but apparently I dropped like a stone, out cold." Sue added she was rushed to hospital for a scan before she got the all-clear from medics to return to work.
