I'm a Celebrity Star Talks Possible Return to Coronation Street 6 Years After Exit
The 69-year-old former Liz McDonald star said she loved her time on the soap but felt the stories were no longer there for her character.
- Speaking to the Daily Star, Beverley Callard, 69, discussed a potential return to Coronation Street, stating she was "so proud to be a part of it" and would "never say never" to a comeback.

- While open to a Coronation Street return, the actress confirmed she is currently committed to other filming projects, expressing pride in her 32 years despite feeling storylines for Liz had run their course.
