Adopted Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver found her birth mother through an uncanny coincidence with a co-star - which led her to uncover a secret link with Helen Worth. Even Eileen Grimshaw doesn't have this drama...
Adopted at 10 days old, the story of how Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver met her birth mother is more incredible than any storyline on the cobbles.
One Sunday the cast got together for a lunch party and Michael started making fun of Sue’s Northern accent before asking where she was born and her date of birth. When she answered that she was actually born in Barnet, Greater London, not the North and that she was born on September 2, 1963, Michael immediately called his wife Lesley, announcing: ‘I’ve found her.
Michael broke the news to Sue, telling her: ‘You are my wife’s daughter,’ and took her to meet Lesley in a hotel. Sue, best-known as Coronation Street ’s feisty cab switchboard operator Eileen Grimshaw, says: “The walk to the door felt like it went on forever. I felt such a mixture of anticipation, excitement, fear and adrenaline. We embraced and just talked and talked until 5am.”
