Sue Cleaver gets clobbered on the cobbles

There's a story in today's Daily Mirror that says medics were called to the Coronation Street set as Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, was filming a fight scene and got clobbered for real.

Sue, as Eileen, was having a “scuffle” with ­Alzheimer’s sufferer Lesley Kershaw – played by Judy Holt – when she took an accidental smack in the face and fell to the floor. A doctor was asked to check a bump on the 47-year-old’s head.

Ashow source said: “They could have used stunt doubles but they did it themselves. It was a scene the pair did a number of times without any problems.But Sue ended up getting a glancing blow and feeling some real pain. She had a nasty bump on her head.”

Sue was given time to recover and a doctor later gave her the OK to carry on.
