Coronation Street star Maureen Lipman admits she's worried she's spread coronavirus to her fellow Corrie cast members. The actress, who plays Evelyn Plummer on the ITV soap, said she thinks she might have had Covid-19 - and said the Corrie crew are at risk if she did.
Maureen, 74 said: "I believe myself to have had a mild form of coronavirus masquerading as a fortnight's persistent cough, with attached fatigue and sweats." She continued telling The Lady magazine: "If I did have it, then I flung my viral breath cheerfully around the Coronation Street corner shop at anyone who popped in for a bag of crisps and a confrontation." Filming of the soap halted at the the end of March due to the ongoing pandemic.
