Corrie fans are in for a rare lockdown
treat tonight.
While current episodes of the
sixty-year-old soap are being rationed because of social distancing measures
putting a stop to filming, an ITV factual programme will be featuring one of Coronation Street's legendary stars. Amanda Barrie gives a hilarious
insight into her life in lockdown at 8pm as part of the ITV
"Coronavirus Q&A" programme.

The programme will show a clip of
Amanda playing Alma alongside characters Ivy Brennan, Alf Roberts and Audrey in a
classic scene involving a corner shop confrontation. Alma is shown
saying "Pardon me Mrs Brennan, but I'm not sure I like your
tone" during the bust-up.
Asked what she is missing in lock down,
Amanda jokes, "well not acting! I think I was in Coronation
Street about 15 years. I don’t remember being there 15 years because it was
like being in lock down really!".
The “Celebrity
Big Brother” and "Carry On" celeb also shares with us a hilarious
lock down story that involves her sunbathing in the nude – and an online shopping delivery driver! She tells the programme "I was stark
naked talking to the Amazon man". Amanda claims to have developed a fringe-cutting
"obsession" and has a trim "about every 10 minutes" during
lockdown. She now has what she calls her "lock down fringe".
