She's currently settling into life as a celeb campmate on I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! in Australia. But Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver's fellow soap actor has shared an 'unsettling' aspect of being on our TV each night on the popular ITV reality show.
In last night's episode (Friday) Sue, who plays Eileen Grimshaw in Corrie, left viewers and her I'm a Celebrity campmates and viewers shocked as she revealed how a chance encounter at a theatre led her to meet her birth mother. Sue, who has played Eileen in the ITV soap since 2000, opened up to her fellow reality show contestants about being adopted and how acting “saved” her.
She explained that when she was in her early twenties she was at drama school. The Royal Exchange in Manchester were looking for “tiny parts” for the theatre production of Oedipus.
