Beverley Callard claims Corrie stars are banned from taking part in Strictly
She loves the popular dancing programme.
Coronation Street actress Beverley Callard has revealed the soap’s cast are stopped from taking part in Strictly Come Dancing because of ITV and BBC “malarkey”.
The soap star, who portrays Liz McDonald in Corrie, wished This Morning’s Ruth Langsford luck on the forthcoming series during an appearance on Thursday morning’s show.
She said: “I’m so jealous you’re doing Strictly, I will vote for you I promise”, before Langsford asked her if she would ever consider taking part in the popular BBC show.
Eamonn Holmes then asked if it was because she was on ITV, to which to which his guest replied: “Oh it’s all that malarkey.”
She added: “But I want a free ticket please, I’ll come and scream for you Ruth.”
ITV declined to comment on the supposed ban.
She told Langsford and Holmes she had pushed herself “too far rather than going to the GP immediately”.
“People who are ill, we are people-pleasers, and you so don’t want to let anyone down, but in the end you put yourself under pressure, you let yourself down,” she added.
