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.
