The actor, who currently plays Celia Daniels in the Yorkshire-based soap, bravely opened up about the harrowing abuse she endured, when she appeared on the lunchtime show on Thursday (13 November).

The 62-year-old, who is now in a happy relationship, spoke about what used to trigger her ex partner, and said: “If you made the tea the wrong way, that could have consequences.”

Crying, she added: “I was told I was useless.”
