She announced she was leaving Corrie in 2019 but didn't return to the cobbles to film exit scenes.

In an interview with Sunday Express magazine S, Beverley has said she's "shut the door on Coronation Street forever" despite originally hoping that she might return to film her character's departure after three decades in Weatherfield.

The actress recently opened up about her mental health struggles during her time working on the ITV soap.

She told the Daily Star : "I'd struggled for so long knowing something was wrong but not on set knowing exactly what it was.

"You say all those things to yourself, like 'get a grip.' In the end I couldn't go on any longer. With hindsight I know I was a workaholic."
