Mum joy for Street star Sue
SUE Cleaver told campmates how a chance meeting at an audition meant she was reunited with her birth mother more than 20 years after she was adopted.
The Coronation Street star said: “I was at drama school and Royal Exchange were looking for tiny parts.”
As she walked in an actor said: “She’s the absolute double of my wife when I met her.” Questions followed, then he rang his missus and said, ‘I’ve found her.’”
Footballer Jill Scott exclaimed: “That is the most incredible story I’ve heard.”
Sue, 59, Eileen Grimshaw in the ITV soap, said: “We’ve all had a lovely relationship ever since.”
