Coronation Street actor Beverley Callard passes out on soap set as ambulance called amid cancer treatment

Coronation Street legend Beverley Callard passed out on the set of her new soap and an ambulance had to be called as she continues her treatment for breast cancer.

The 69-year-old regularly shares updates with her social media followers, following her diagnosis in February.

The actor was on the set of her new soap Fair City, when she lost consciousness for around 10 minutes.

She told her followers: “Because of protocol, they had to check me out and everything. An ambulance came. I desperately didn’t want to go to hospital.

“I recovered and felt fine again but I can’t explain what it was. I was boiling hot. I seemed to lose 10 minutes but I don’t know why. I was checked out by the ambulance men and everything and they were happy to let me come home as long as I rested.”
