Sue, who has played Weatherfield’s resident hairdresser for more than three decades, told The Sun: “People will think I’m mad, but yes, I do have a belief [in psychics].

“I don’t go every day and it doesn’t take over my life, but I’ve had my palm read and I go to see these people, so this is a lovely storyline for me.”

She continues: “I’ve been for palm readings, but mainly for Tarot readings and what’s been interesting with this storyline is the way the writers have worked it.”

On screen, Audrey is totally taken in by psychic Rosemary (Sophie Thompson) who delivers messages from Audrey’s late husband Alf (R.I.P) and Gail’s evil ex Richard Hillman (good riddance), who died 15 years ago.

Discussing the storyline, Sue said: “What makes Audrey think this woman is real is that she tells her something that Audrey thought she was the only one who could possibly know about.

“That made sense to me.”

Corrie fans will have to stay tuned to find out whether Rosemary is genuine or a con-artist.

But we have our suspicions…
