Fast forward to today and Sue is starting to emerge from her shell. From her stint in the jungle on I'm a Celebrity... to regular appearances on the Loose Women panel - and now the role of Mother Superior in the UK and Ireland tour of the hit musical, Sister Act.

It is Sue's first theatre role since she joined Coronation Street 24 years ago, but she firmly believes that it's the right time to be making changes to her life.
