Coronation Street's Sue Cleaver has an adoption story that outdoes any drama on the show. She was adopted at just 10 days old, but years later in 1986, one of her co-workers would make a comment that, in an absurd twist of fate, brought her face to face with her biological mother.
It happened during her performance in 'Oedipus' at the Royal Exchange Theatre, when her co-star Michael Harbour was stunned by her resemblance to his wife when they first met.
He told the stage manager: "Oh my God, she's the spitting image of my wife when I met her." Despite the significant age difference, Sue, then 23, and Michael, who was 41, became good friends.
In her new autobiography 'A Work in Progress', Corrie star Cleaver recalls her fascination with him. She said: "I was completely obsessed with him and fascinated by his stories about his family, I wasn't sure why."
