Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver shows off her three stone weight loss

She’s embarked on a health overhaul over the past couple of years.

And Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver was looking gorgeous as she showed off her weight loss during an appearance on This Morning on Tuesday. 

The TV star, 56, who has played Eileen Grimshaw on the soap since 2000, presented a competition segment from Morocco with her former Corrie co-star Les Dennis, looking chic in a floral summer dress.

In February the actress revealed she had lost three-stone after overhauling her diet and adopting a new health and fitness regime, dropping dropped to a size 12-14 from a size 16.

Discussing her weight loss, a source told Woman magazine: ‘Sue was always a self-confessed foodie, who admitted that over-indulgence was her Achilles Heel. Now everything’s changed. 

‘Sue’s in her mid 50s so it was a no brainer that cutting down on certain things was what she had to do. She’s in this for the long game and wants to live a long, happy and healthy life,’ they said, as they added she did it for her partner and son Elliot.

It’s been a tough few months for the actress though who revealed in September that she recently came down with the life-threatening condition sepsis.

Speaking on This Morning, Sue told how she began to show troubling symptoms while on the Corrie set. 

She told hosts Eamon Holmes and Ruth Langsford: ‘I didn’t really take it seriously. I suffer with IBS and I thought I was having a flare up.’

Sue explained she went home from Coronation Street early as she had not been feeling well but her symptoms only worsened the next day.

Making a change: In February it was revealed the actress had dropped to a size 12-14 from a size 16, after making a change to have a healthier lifestyle in 2016 (L in March 2018, R in October 2006)

She said: ‘And then I came back in the next morning at 7:30am and was shooting all day. It was the hottest day of the year and I was on set with a hot water bottle, shaking. 

‘And Melanie Hill (fellow Corrie actor who plays Cathy Matthews) said “Sue, look at your feet!” 

‘And my feet were just blue and purple and I had goosebumps on my arms… I went home at lunchtime, I got into bed. I had socks on, leggings on and thinking ‘Not only have I got really bad IBS, but I’ve caught the flu now.’

Health problems: It’s been a tough few months for the actress though who revealed in September that she recently came down with the life-threatening condition sepsis 

However, it was actually a severe kidney infection which had caused the sepsis and Sue revealed how her family had to intervene. 

Sue said: ‘My husband, who also works on Corrie was on a night shift. He rang me and said he couldn’t hear what I was saying because my teeth were chattering so much. 

‘He rang our daughter in law who’s a paramedic and she said, get her to hospital. I didn’t know I had sepsis until the next day in the ward. I was immediately on fluids and antibiotics.’

Sue never suspected she had sepsis and said the experience served as a wake-up call. She said: ‘The biggest lesson for me is that we stride on through life and we put up with things. You’re so aware of upsetting filming for everybody. All I wanted to do was sleep. If I had gone to sleep, what would have happened?’
