ITV Coronation Street: Real life of Jenny Connor actress Sally Ann Matthews - death threats, teen battle and high-flying husband

Sally Ann Matthews became a young star of Coronation Street when she joined the soap at the age of 16.

The Oldham actress was cast in 1986 as Jenny Bradley - the daughter of villain Alan Bradley who was taken in by mother figure Rita Fairclough while her father worked away.

After five years, Sally quit the show in pursuit of other roles, returning briefly in '93, before making a huge comeback in 2015.
