Real life of Coronation Street's Cassie Plummer actress Claire Sweeney - real age, dating admission, 'decimated' income and rarely seen son
Coronation Street has been rocked by a new arrival and they're already pulling in the praise. Claire Sweeney made her debut in the ITV soap this week playing newcomer Cassandra Plummer. Her casting was revealed back in April and made her first appearance this week as Tyrone Dobbs' real mum and the daughter of Evelyn Plummer.
"The funny thing is, having done the audition from the safety of my bedroom, reading with my mate, I felt really safe," she told the Manchester Evening News. "I wasn’t nervous or anything but then to suddenly turn up at Coronation Street and I walked in and I saw the cobbles and my stomach [flipped].
"I had a flare-up of my skin... I was tired, I was a bit stressed because of one thing and another and Janita who has done my makeup, she is wonderful, she was putting blue on my face and purple and pink and she was kind of following my rosacea then the dark under the eyes. They've done a fantastic my job," Claire added.
And from then on her career went from strength to strength, getting a few more TV appearances under her belt, both as an actress and as a presenter, while also carving out a successful theatre career starring in the likes of Guys and Dolls, Legally Blonde, Educating Rita and numerous pantomimes.
