Former Coronation Street favourite Beverley Callard has shared a reassuring update with fans after bravely revealing her cancer diagnosis.
The Liz McDonald actress opened up about the shock news during an appearance on Patrick Kielty’s Late Late Show on Friday, February 6, where she explained she learned about her diagnosis just minutes before stepping onto the set of Irish soap Fair City.
Beverley revealed she was told she needed to return to the UK only 15 to 20 minutes before filming her very first scenes as new character Lily. Despite the timing, she carried on filming, later confirming the cancer had thankfully been caught early.
