Sally Dynevor 'grateful for Corrie support'

Sally Dynevor has said that she is grateful for the support of Coronation Street producers, who have provided her with dramatic storylines since she returned to the soap after battling breast cancer.

The actress, who portrays Sally Webster in the Weatherfield-based show, was diagnosed with the disease shortly after her character was faced with the illness and was absent for some months as she underwent treatment.

Dynevor told Hello magazine that returning to work and being involved in the high-profile love triangle between Sally, husband Kevin (Michael Le Vell) and his former lover Molly Dobbs (Vicky Binns) helped her to keep busy and readjust during her recovery.

"Coronation Street has been brilliant in that way," she explained. "I'm so grateful to the producers for not putting me on the shelf because I'd been ill and for giving me lots to do instead.

"That was just what I needed. I don't want people to look at me and think, 'Oh she's been ill'. I want them to look at me and think, 'Wow, how cool is that? She's so busy'."

Dynevor, who wore a wig after losing her hair during treatment, also revealed that she is relieved to say goodbye to the prop now that her own hair has grown back and is styled into a short crop.

"The wig is in some cupboard somewhere; I hope I never have to see it again," she added.

Dynevor recently admitted that she is scared that the cancer could come back in future.
