Beverley Callard has opened up on what it was like to leave Coronation Street after a staggering 32 years.
The actress is best known for playing the soap's barmaid, Liz McDonald, who had many huge storylines. These included being abused, a kidnap victim, a harassed mother and an unfaithful wife.
Beverley left the cobbles for a period in November 1998 to concentrate on her other career as an aerobics instructor and to spend more time with her family. Over the years, she had several short breaks before announcing in 2019 that she was leaving the ITV soap for good. Her final scenes aired in 2020.
