Coronation Street icon Amanda Barrie's appearance floors fans as she sells piece of history

Coronation Street icon Amanda Barrie has shocked fans by revealing her age as she revealed she was selling a piece of soap history. The actress is auctioning off a number of things including some iconic ITV soap memorabilia as she approaches a big milestone.

Amanda, who starred in two of the Carry On films before being cast as Alma Halliwell in Corrie, announced the sale on social media, writing: "Now, who might want my Corrie Cobble?" It was accompanied by a picture of the cobble from the original street.

In a signed note to prove his authenticity, Amanda explains that it was given to her in 1991 by a prop man. It was given to her when an accessibility ramp was built and the cobble couldn't fit back in.
