Coronation Street fans were left completely shocked this week after discovering the age gap between actresses Sue Nichols and Helen Worth who play mother and daughter - or lack of. The pair first joined the cobbles in the 70s as mother and daughter Audrey Roberts and Gail Platt.
Gail and Audrey's relationship has been pretty rocky over the years but it has become even more strained in recent weeks as Audrey has turned to alcohol. But viewers were baffled to learn that Sue is 78 and Helen is 71 - meaning that there is only a seven-year age gap between them.
One viewer tweeted: "Just checked, in real life Audrey is 78 and Gail is 71!" While another commented: "They both look amazing!" A third wrote: "They both look great for their age!" It comes after Su spoke about how Audrey is left feeling over her family's treatment of her.
