Coronation Street star Beverley Callard launches new venture
While appearing in Corrie in the 80s and 90s, Bev also had a number of top-selling fitness videos.
Beverley’s agent Melanie Blake recently revealed the behind the scenes gossip of why the star quit the soap.
Speaking to DigitalSpy, Melanie said: “She basically came to me and said: ‘I’m done’. I was like: ‘We’ll wait for another producer and we’ll get great stories’. She said: ‘No, I’m done. I want out’.
“Everyone loves the character of Liz, but Beverley said she wanted to leave. She decided that she really meant it.”
But why did Beverley walk away from the soap after so long?
Melanie revealed it was because of the lack of storylines for Liz.
“I know that’s why Bev left,” she said.

“Her storylines were not believable to her anymore and she felt no-one was bothered about her character’s history arc, to make it realistic for her to play.
“She actually said: ‘I don’t want to turn up to do stuff that I don’t even believe in.
“The audience deserve better for Liz’. And she was right – they let the character down and the audience down with her, and that’s how they lost her.”
Coronation Street usually airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV.
