Coronation Street star Sally Carman-Duttine has been opening up about life on the cobbles and why she has not plans to leave, there is one thing she's admitted she'd love to do.

The actress is best known now for playing Abi Webster in the ITV soap, but was previously known for a number of roles, including playing heroin addict and prostitute Kelly Maguire in the Channel 4 series Shameless.

It was four years after Shameless came to an end that Sally joined Corrie in 2017, with Abi also experiencing a drug addiction. But Sally isn't worried about being typecast in those grittier, more troubled character roles.

"That ship sailed!" she smiled when talking to OK! Magazine. "The thing is, I always go to auditions looking smart. I always wash my hair and my armpits and put on make-up.

"Yet I'm still always seen as the one who can play a tart, a prostitute, a drug addict or somebody who has fallen on hard times.

"But I'm OK with it. I get to play meaty parts and really interesting characters. I feel so lucky and I don't understand how anyone could be upset about being typecast because that means you're working, doesn't it?".

"I came into work yesterday and went into the Rovers Return and there was Joe, Sue Devaney [Debbie Webster], Mike Le Vell [Kevin Webster] and a few others. I got a real moment of gratitude where I thought, 'It's the best job in the world and I work here and I get to hang out with these people.'"
