Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor revealed he “could not have done” her breast cancer scenes if she knew she had cancer herself.
The 60-year-old actress thought her doctor was confusing her with her character, Sally Metcalfe, when she received her diagnosis on the same day she filmed a scene for the ITV soap where she shared her diagnosis with her on-screen husband back in 2009.
Dynevor only checked herself for a lump after reading the Coronation Street scripts and “fainted” when she found out she did have cancer.
“It was unbelievable, I don’t think I could have done those scenes if I knew I had breast cancer,” she told BBC Breakfast during a discussion about a new campaign to train the next generation of specialists in mammogram screening.
