Ex-Corrie star Beverely Callard has revealed she has left the UK and bought a home in Ireland.
Beverely – who played Liz McDonald in the Manchester-based soap for over 30 years – joined the cast of Fair City earlier this year to take on the role of Gwen’s estranged mum Lily.
And the soap legend said she loved being in Ireland so much that she and her husband Jon decided to relocate here and buy a home in Wicklow.
‘I don’t think we thought about it at the beginning. When I got the diagnosis, it does change your life in some way.
‘The plan wasn’t to fully move here, but Jon had been in to see me doing a scene, which he’s done many times at Coronation Street.
‘He said it’s so apparent that I just love this, that I come to life when I’m on set.
‘But it became apparent to us that going back and forth would be difficult, so we decided since we both love it so much here, that we’d stay – life’s too short, so we took the leap of faith.’
