Coronation Street star Tracie Bennett took to Twitter to ask her followers for advice after suffering a painful-looking black eye. The Olivier Award-winning stage and screen actress received a flood of messages from concerned well-wishers as she shared a photo on her social media.
"Shall I even bother to put makeup on? It’ll get worse before it gets better," she tweeted. Tracie, who made a triumphant return to the famous cobbles as the villainous Sharon Bentley last year, was told her eye looked sore as her followers offered their advice and asked what had happened.
@tonypony told her: "Oh god bless you ...looks sore love." @AmandalikesRick exclaimed: "Oh No!!! What's happened Tracie?? Hope You're OK?? Take Care." @corlett_julian tweeted: "That looks blooming painful, Tracie!" And @derrickca asked her: "Oh jeez. What the…happened ? Hugs to you."
