“Even though I was scared and even though it was unknown, I thought ‘no, this is fantastic. Let’s just go for this’ and I did.”
Sue added that she had “the most amazing time” on the production, but admitted that “you have to finish one thing to start the next.”
While her return to Corrie is imminent, she certainly isn’t ruling out another return to the stage.
She said: “I definitely think I will do more on stage. The stage is where I started. Theater has always been my first love. Now that I’m back, it won’t be my last.
‘But I’ll be back in Coronation Street soon. I have a little break and then I’ll be back in Corrie in July so you can see me there. I’ll be back.”

Earlier, Sue had to deny rumors that she was taking diet gummies to lose weight.

“Apparently there’s some hoax out there saying I lost weight using Keto Gummies… well that’s s*p. It’s a scam.
“And if that got you carried away, I’m very sorry. That’s unheard of. I just want you to know that I would never, ever advocate such a thing.”
Instead, the actress explained that she cut alcohol from her diet because she drank “full wines” during the pandemic.
