Best known as Coronation Street’s loveable matriarch, Eileen Grimshaw, Sue Cleaver is a woman of many talents. As well as treading the boards as Mother Superior in Sister Act the musical, she’s written a book - A Work In Progress. Part memoir, part manifesto, it champions women in midlife and beyond. Our Corrie fanatic, Jen, caught up with Sue to chat about the ways women can be put out to pasture once they hit middle-age, letting go of negative thoughts, life as a Corrie legend and spending time in close proximity with one Mr Matt Hancock.
