Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver has been supported by her co-stars and fans as she shared something she’s felt she’s learned over the years as she prepares for an exciting move away from the cobbles.

The actress, who is famed for playing Eileen Grimshaw in the ITV soap, revealed back in April that she’s adding another string to her bow and releasing her first book this September. The 60-year-old took to Instagram to reveal a new career venture, titled A Work In Progress, which is now available to pre-order.

Sue said the book will tackle a number of issues including overthinking and losing faith in yourself. In a video, also shared by Bloomsbury Publishing who are behind the project, Sue started by asking a number of questions before she explained: “It’s about my journey about my struggles with all of those things, especially overthinking and worrying and panicking about things. I just wanted to get on here and share it with you.”

I’ve recorded a series of videos to give you a sneak peek into the helpful tips and comforting advice included in the book – keep an eye on Instagram to make sure you don’t miss any! Today, some words on self-critical thoughts… A Work in Progress is available for pre-order now, at the link in my bio!.”

Corrie co-star Sally Dynevor was among the first to respond, writing: “So true.” Sally Carman-Duttine also commented: “Yes Sue!” While her fans and followers also show their support.
