Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver has revealed that she will return to the ITV soap next month after taking time off to pursue starring in the musical Sister Act
Coronation Street icon Sue Cleaver has revealed that she’s set to return to the soap next month.
The actress, 60, who has played Eileen Grimshaw since 2000, made the decision to take a break from the ITV soap to focus on more theatre work after landing a role touring in Sister Act, the musical. But now, the legendary star is set to make a return in July. In a recent interview, she said: “I’ve finished Sister Act but I’m missing everybody hugely. I had the most wonderful time doing that show – I hadn’t been on stage for 30 years. I just thought ‘I’m going to embrace this, I’m going to do it’. Even though I was scared and even though it was the unknown, I thought ‘nope, this is fabulous. Let’s just go for this’ and I did.”
Speaking to OK!, she added: “I had the most amazing time. We played to full houses everywhere and had standing ovations. I will miss everybody hugely but you’ve got to finish one thing to start the next thing.” And despite re-joining the show, she certainly hasn’t ruled out more stage work. She continued: “I definitely think I’ll do more on stage. The stage is where I started. Theatre’s always been my first love. Now I’ve been back, that’s not going to be my last. But I’ll be heading back to Coronation Street soon. I’m having a little holiday and then I will be heading back into Corrie in July so they can see me back there. I will be back.”
Sue recently opened up on her Type 2 diabetes diagnosis and revealed that she was scared at first. She previously said: “I always say that I don’t live with diabetes, diabetes lives with me. So I live my life as anyone else. I have a busy life and I get on with it,” the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star explains.” She added: “When I was first diagnosed, it scared me. Then since I started using Dexcom, it took away all of the guessing, all of the unknown. I’ve always had my HbA1c and I’ve always been under a consultant and monitored everything, but it’s just taken a bit of pressure off. I can see what my averages are. I can see what my patterns are. It’s taken away a lot of that worry for me.”
Back in January, many labelled the star as unrecognisable after showcasing her three stone weight loss. And a few months earlier, she was forced to shut down rumours that she had taken diet gummies to achieve her weight-loss. Taking to Instagram, she told fans: “I’m really, really sad that I have to actually make this video. I’ve had quite a lot of messages over the last couple of weeks asking me about Keto gummies. There’s obviously some scam going around saying that I lost weight using Keto gummies… well it’s cr*p. It’s a scam. And if you’ve been taken in by it I’m so, so sorry. It’s outrageous. I just want you to know that I would never, ever advocate anything like that.”
Instead, she said she simply cut alcohol from her diet as she was drinking “loads of wine” during the pandemic. She told The Sun: “I went on HRT about a year and a half ago and realised I should have done that about five years ago.” She added: “I was walking around in a bit of a fog and then I literally made some massive changes. Then I did dry January and I thought: ‘I wonder what life would be like if I stopped completely?'”
