ITV Corrie's Sue Cleaver says 'sorry, not sorry' over break weeks after return to soap as fans marvel at weight loss

Sue Cleaver has said she's 'not sorry' as she ditched the freezing cold temperatures in the UK for some more sunshine, weeks after jetting back from Australia. The Coronation Street actress made a return to filming on the ITV soap last month following her stint in the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here jungle.

But the soap star has jetted off again. Sue, 59, took to Instagram with a snap of herself with the wind in her hair and the sun in her eyes as she stood in front of the glistening blue sea. "Happy Wednesday…!" she captioned the snap of her beaming with her arms out wide.

Sue, who is famed for playing Eileen Grimshaw in the ITV soap, then added 'sorry not sorry' in a hashtag before confirming she was enjoying a 'mini break'. And the compliments came flooding in for her as she sported a patterned dress and pair of white trainers.

It comes a week after Sue stunned viewers as she appeared on This Morning and showed off her new look. She was live in the studio to chat to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield about her return to the soap and her time on I'm A Celebrity. Sue, who has spent more than 22 years playing Weatherfield resident Eileen, was the third campmate to be evicted from the jungle after joining the likes of Boy George, Mike Tindall, Charlene White, Matt Hancock and eventual winner, Jill Scott, Down Under for the 2022 edition of the ITV reality show.

Speaking about her time in Australia on This Morning after being asked if she'd seen any of the show back, Sue told Holly and Phillip: "I’ve dipped in and out and watched bits, but all of us have talked about it, but watching bits back - that isn’t our journey, we’ve very much got our journey that we want to remember. So I haven’t watched a lot of it back…"

But she chatted on the show, This Morning viewers couldn't help but flock to social media to compliment Sue, who looked amazing in a pair of vibrant green trousers and black leather jacket. She also posted a picture of her attire for her live TV appearance which was again flooded with comments as fans marvelled at her weight loss.

Corrie co-star Sally Carman, who plays Abi Webster in the ITV soap, said: "You look great!" Tracy Barlow icon Kate Ford replied: "Gorgeous." Jodie Prenger, who joined the ITV soap last year as Glenda Shuttleworth, wrote: "Stunning." Strictly's Will Mellor typed: "You look fabulous!!" Former Corrie and Emmerdale star Hayley Tamaddon added: "You look sensational."

@jadeycombe said: "You at you!! you are glowing, you look absolutely stunning." @kazzmell commented: "OMG!!! You look amazing x." @clj12 shared: "You look amazing." @johnlewis_samantha echoed: "Amazing loving the look!" @cathmerton wrote: "You look stunning Sue." @jo_allensw2526xx added: "You're looking incredible Sue."
