Beverley Callard announced she was leaving Coronation Street earlier this year, and has since swapped the Cobbles for a castle in north Wales.
The 63-year-old actress first appeared as Liz McDonald more than 30 years ago.
But she announced she would leave Corrie in order to focus on other roles in stage and on screen.
And now she is taking part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, which is set in Gwrych Castle in Abergele, Wales.
As Bev prepares to take on another Bushtucker Trial, we take a closer look at her love life with her husband of more than 10 years.
Who is Beverley Callard’s husband?
Beverley is married to Jon McEwan, a recording studio owner.

The actress has been married three time before that – to Paul Atkinson in 1974, David Sowden in 1980 and Steve Callard in 1989.
Beverley divorced her third husband in 2001, and she married Jon back in October 2010.
The same year, Bev teamed up with mental health charity Mind to raise awareness about mental health issues and depression.
In fact, she credits Jon for “saving her life” after suffering a nervous breakdown in 2009.

The actress was at the time facing her late mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s disease, and she was in debt from her and Jon’s failed business.
Beverley received treatment in the Priory Clinic, and Jon stayed by her side the whole time.
She explained: “It wasn’t just the fact that Jon rumbled me to the nurses that saved me from ending it all.

“It was much more than that. He stood by me, through everything. He never gave up trying to understand my torment.
“Even though after visiting me he’d go to his car and cry his heart out. Even though he’d see me curled into a ball with matted hair, unable to speak or move and no one was sure if I’d get better.”
“By being there, by staying right by my side, he proved he loved me no matter what.
“He proved I had lots to live for, that I could be happy again – even when the future looked black.”

A year after the dark chapter in her life, they went public with the engagement – and she credited the dad-of-three with saving her life.
She explained: “I am so in love, and so ecstatic to be engaged. Jon and I just fit. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him.
“It sounds dramatic, but he definitely saved my life. I’ll be the luckiest woman alive to call Jon my husband.”
