Her on-screen son Ryan Thomas, who played Corrie's Jason Grimshaw, was among the first to respond to the news
Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver will be treading the boards and not the cobbles next year as she's bagged a new role away from the ITV soap. The actress is famed for playing Eileen Grimshaw in the long-running show.
But away from the cobbles, fans have recently seen Sue taking part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here and appear on Loose Women as a guest panellist. However, her next role will take her completely away from the small screen. Speaking about her new role, Sue said: "I’m thrilled to be stepping into the habit and joining the incredible company of Sister Act on tour. It’s been over 30 years since I’ve been on stage, but theatre has always been my first love. A chance to take on a role like this feels like heaven."
Instagram The cast also includes Landi Oshinowo as Deloris Van Cartier, Alfie Parker as Eddie Souther and Ian Gareth-Jones as Curtis Jackson, alongside Isabel Canning, Julie Stark, Phillip Arran, Wendy-Lee Purdy, Callum Martin, Esme Laudat, Amber Kennedy, Joseph Connor, Ceris Hine, Eloise Runnette, and Sheri Lineham. Additional casting is also expected to be announced soon.
