ITV Coronation Street star Sally Ann Matthews teases "painful" soap return after Great Run success

Coronation Street star Sally Ann Matthews was among the thousands taking part in the Great Manchester Run on Sunday - and was preparing to head straight back to the soap for filming on Monday after a break from playing Jenny Connor. And she said soap fans might spot a rather "painful" looking return for Jenny after Sally's running heroics.

The Corrie favourite took on the 10k challenge alongside her friend and Corrie extra extraordinaire, Adam Blease, on Sunday. The pals were running to raise money and awareness for The Dogs Trust and completed the entire 10k by each other's side.

But speaking ahead of the run, Sally revealed she had one big concern about returning to film on Corrie on Monday morning, hours after completing her first ever 10km race. In the soap, the character of Jenny has been having a quieter time of late after being involved in some of the soap's biggest ever dramas last year.
