I'm A Celebrity star Beverley Callard admits who she'll miss most and it isn't her husband

Coronation Street legend Beverley Callard has revealed who she will miss most as she enters I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here on Sunday - and it isn't her husband.

Beverley, who has played Liz McDonald in the ITV soap for 31 years, said she'd find it tough not speaking to her husband everyday, but that he wasn't what she would miss most during her time on the show.

Beverley, 63, said: "It will be really weird but I think I will miss my dogs even more than Jon."

She also had bad news for fans who were hoping to see some Liz McDonald glamour in the North Wales castle.

She said: "I think as I have played Liz for so long, people think I am quite glamorous and they think I am covered in make-up all the time.

“They do see me as Liz and I think they think I will be going in with a wonder bra on and a very short skirt.

"Well to be totally honest, I am just the opposite, I hate being dressed up and I don’t care if my nails break either. I am quite at home in comfy baggy clothes."

Admitting she is ‘rubbish’ at cooking, Beverley said: “I think I will be the cleaner upper in the camp but if they need me to cook, they will starve, I am rubbish.

“I think I will be ok living with strangers but the only thing that worries me is the toilet side of things and personal hygiene.”

Revealing she has been asked many times before to take part in I’m A Celebrity, Beverley says she decided to take the plunge after making the big decision to quit Corrie earlier this year.

She said: "I felt that after 31 years Liz had run her course and normally, I would have said ‘thank you but no thank you’. But this year, I decided to go for it.

"Doing I’m A Celebrity is an adventure and definitely out of my comfort zone.”

*I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here starts at 9pm on ITV on Sunday
