Corrie's Beverley Callard 'won't wear Wonderbra and miniskirt on I'm A Celeb'

Beverley Callard is one of I’m A Celebrity ‘s stars for the 20th series and the actress cannot wait to get started with the trials and challenges.

The 63-year-old is better known for her role as Liz McDonald on the channel’s soap, Coronation Street, but she will be swapping Weatherfield for Wales.

Bev has played her character on the soap for over 30 years and is renowned for her glamorous and made-up appearance, but she wants to ensure everyone that she is absolutely nothing like her character.

The mum-of-two has opened up in an entrance interview, promising there will be zero sign of a wonder bra or any short skirt from her in the castle.

Beverly can’t wait for the show to start

She explained: “I think as I have played Liz for so long, people think I am quite glamorous and they think I am covered in make-up all the time.

“They do see me as Liz and I think they think I will be going in with a wonder bra on and a very short skirt!

“Well to be totally honest, I am just the opposite!

“I hate being dressed up and I don’t care if my nails break either! I am quite at home in comfy, baggy clothes.”

Beverly is married to husband Jon McEwan and has said she will miss him, along with their dogs the most when she’s filming at Gwyrch Castle.

As well as this, she admitted that her dream campmate would definitely be Ricky Gervais, as “he would keep us all going”.

The soap star has spent the past few months recovering from a major hip operation but hopes it doesn’t hold her back on the show.

She admitted this meant she had to spend extended periods of time at home, so she is excited to meet a new bunch of people.

“After lockdown because I had a hip operation I was still at home,” she says.

“But I am not good at being at home and I have not met any new people for months, so this chance will be really good.”

The star added she loves a good natter: “Sitting around the camp doesn’t bother me because it is a chance to chat!”
