Coronation Street legend hits out at ITV viewers over 'ageist' treatment and comments
Callard said she did more than most campmates and argued that criticism of her ITV appearance reflects ageism toward women.
- Coronation Street icon Beverley Callard has criticized "ageist" viewers on Instagram, defending her work ethic on ITV's Celebrity in South Africa and stating, "Society is ageist, especially about women."
- Tensions began when Haye chose the 69-year-old for the basic Savannah Scrub camp in episode one. Callard later questioned his comments about Sian Osborne, whom he described as having the personality of a "ugly girl."
- Responding to Haye, Callard quipped, "So does that mean all handsome men have sh** personalities then?" Fans praised her sharp comeback, with one saying, "Give her the crown now!"
- Callard is best known for portraying Liz McDonnell on Coronation Street since 1989. She also appeared in Emmerdale and Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps before joining the current ITV program.
- She has previously spoken about depression and described it as the "curse of the strong" after revealing she underwent electroconvulsive therapy to treat her own symptoms.
