TV great Rula Lenska has opened up about her career and recalled how soaps such as Coronation Street have salaries that are "notoriously badly paid" compared to other work.
Lenska played Claudia Colby in the long-running soap opera between 2009 and 2011 before reprising the role between 2018 and 2020, where she stepped away from the cobbles for a second time. Colby returned for a third stint in Weatherfield last month.
The 74-year-old actress has admitted that working on the iconic TV show does not even compare to the some of the eye-watering sums of money she earned in the 1970s and 80s through television adverts.
