FROM CORRIE TO COMEDY
Beverley Callard has revealed she begged Ricky
Gervais for a role in his hit Netflix show After Life. She admitted, ‘I’ve never done that [comedy] in my 45 years of working… I am hoping it will happen.’ Bev, who played Liz Mcdonald in Coronation Street for 31 years, said goodbye to the cobbles two years ago, but unfortunately for her it doesn’t look like she’ll be getting her wish. Ricky recently announced the show’s third series would be its final. Better get auditioning elsewhere, Beverley!
