Corrie legend looks ageless as she poses with former co-star and famous daughter
Coronation Street legend Angela Lonsdale hasn't aged a day in over two decades in latest snap with co-star, after first stepping onto the Corrie cobbles in 2000
Coronation Street legend Angela Lonsdale looks identical to when she featured on the cobbles two decades ago as she posed up a storm with her co-star and daughter. Angela Lonsdale is renowned for her portrayal of police officer Emma Watts in the ITV soap when she joined in 2000.
She quickly became a fan favourite, especially after her on-screen marriage to Curly Watts (Kevin Kennedy), but sadly left the soap after three years.
Over two decades later, the actor hasn't changed an inch as she shared a snap with fellow Corrie legend Sally Dynever and her daughter Phoebe.
Taking to social media to wish Sally a happy birthday, Angela shared the sweet snap along with the caption: 'Wishing you The Happiest Birthday my beautiful angel @sallydynevor. Thank you for being the Best Friend anyone could wish for! Have the most wonderful time with @dynevortim!'.
Angela sweetly continued: 'Love you with all my heart and soul #birthdaylove #bestfriend #happybirthday #wecomeasone'.
Since departing the Corrie cobbles, Angela has gone on to feature in an array of dramas, starting when she joined The Bill in 2003. She then portrayed DI Eva Moore in the BBC daytime series Doctors from 2006 to 2008, later returning briefly in 2011.
Other roles included Karen Sunderland in Casualty, Grace Lane in Our Girl, and 'Scary' Sue Buchanan in Holby City.
Angela appeared in The Syndicate in 2021 and looked almost unrecognisable as she was caked in fake tan, oversized jewellery and pink lipstick. She played the part of Mrs Levine, an over-the-top dog owner who clearly loved her makeup.
Angela likes to keep fans updated on her life through social media and previously shared one of her reunions with Kevin Kennedy, her on-screen husband.
Taking to Instagram and sharing a smiley photo, Angela said: "Reunited with my corrie hubby @realkevinkennedy Break a leg pet! @rockofagesmusicaluk."
Fans went wild over the reunion as one person said: "Wow .. that brings back memories." While others stated they want them to make a comeback to Weatherfield.
A second fan commented: "I think u should both come back to Corrie ….. take over the rover return….x.", while another added: "This is lovely. I think its such a beautiful thing when you can reunite with friends/people you used to work with. Especially when it's the iconic couple of Curly and Emma on corrie. I hope both Kevin and yourself had a lovely catch-up/reunion it's beautiful to see thank you."

ITV Love Island fans issue same complaint minutes into 2025 series as show has major twist
The ITV2 dating show was back on screens for its 10th anniversary run Love Island 's highly-anticipated wait was over on Monday night, June 9, as the popular ITV2 reality dating show returned to screens. A fresh batch of hopefuls descended into the villa looking to find love. However just minutes into the show, fans were already left close to switching off their screens in frustration all for the same reason. With the series marking its 10th anniversary, expectations are set high for this year's programme. There was a fresh new twist in store for the Islanders, as host Maya Jama returned in a sensational entrance. In true Love Island expected style, she announced things would work slightly differently at the first re-coupling around the firepit. Maya, 30, quizzed the girls on their dating expectations, before revealing "things are slightly different" this year. Speaking to the girls, she said: "You've told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality? Come and join me by the pool." The TV star then explained how the new series will differ from previous editions, as reported by the Manchester Evening News. She said: "Girls, in front of you there are six love hearts and each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts - shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?" The boards introduced the girls to this year's male Islanders - Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu, and Tommy - through a series of profiles. The girls were then asked to select their male partners based on the snippets of information they were given. Each girl was only allowed to select one guy and after their decisions were made, the male Islanders made their way into the Love Island villa. But it was before Maya even stepped foot in the villa for the first time this series that Love Island fans had a complaint, saying they were "sick of it". Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "8 minutes in to #LoveIsland and I'm already sick of the screaming." @fieldaysea commented: "The screaming coming from my TV, it's being muted #loveisland." Another wrote: "Never been so grateful for the mute button petition to ban screaming next year #LoveIsland." A third posted: "The start of the season is always PAINFUL bc of all the damn screaming #LoveIsland." Someone else shared: "I can't bare the screaming #LoveIsland." @xEllie24_ added: "All this screaming on entering the villa is so unnecessary, your not 10 ffs!! #LoveIsland." Meanwhile ahead of tonight's show on Tuesday, June 10, one girl is said to be sent packing following the brutal new twist after the ITV show alluded to an exit during its closing scenes. Fans can tune in again at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.

ITV Benidorm icon credits friend for saving her from homelessness
Benidorm legend Crissy Rock, who played Janey York in ITV's hit comedy, has opened up about her lifestyle, which she describes as 'living like a nomad' ITV comedy legend Crissy Rock has candidly revealed her unconventional way of life that she likens to "living like a nomad". The actress, well-known for her portrayal of the Solana hotel's Janey Yorke on Benidorm, is preparing to embark on a nationwide tour and admits to a lifestyle that sees her moving from "couch to couch". Speaking with the 66-year-old Liverpudlian shared: "Me, I'm like a nomad. I live from place to place to place. My wardrobe is just the boot of my car. If it wasn't for my friend, I would be living in a hostel or a cardboard box. When I'm in Liverpool, I go and see her and I have family and that so I just sort of move around from couch to couch." Crissy opened up about why she's adopted a nomadic existence, explaining: "It's just my job, it takes me everywhere." She stressed: "You can't become complacent, because every job is different." While chatting about her eagerly awaited tour, Crissy gave fans a teaser of what to expect as she transforms from Christine Murray into the fabulous Crissy Rock. Amazed by the public response, she confessed: "It's gone berserk. I can't believe it. I'm really excited about it", reports the Daily Star. She alluded to sharing the highs and lows of her journey, intending to cover the ups and downs while ensuring laughter remains at the heart of her story. Crissy remarked: "I think that's how I've coped with my life. Through humour." Crissy has admitted that she's completely on board for a Benidorm revival, despite being busy with her one-woman show. She revealed: "I've heard that the show could come back and I think that it would be brilliant if they did bring it back. But I can't say much, but I would love it to happen. It's up to the writer, and I think that you couldn't say half of the things now. You'd have to be politically correct, so would it be the same? "The full cast, all of them, were brilliant. We had a lovely time. I think it was so popular because people could relate to the characters. They all knew someone who was like that. They could relate to the people who were on the programme." She also suggested a potential storyline for the show's return: "I think it would be fab if Janey Yorke and Joyce Temple-Savage got back and locked horns over who was managing the Solana. That would be good, wouldn't it? Because they hated each other." Currently, Crissy is touring the UK with her show An Evening With Crissy Rock: From Bedlam To Benidorm, promising to deliver the fun in June 2025 and extending the fun into Spring 2026.

Lorraine Kelly left in tears after guest stops show to deliver emotional message
ITV star Lorraine Kelly was reduced to tears during her show today, when author Paris Lees stopped the live broadcast to issue an emotional message to the presenter. Appearing on Lorraine to promote her new BBC drama What It's Like for a Girl, Paris ended her interview by thanking Lorraine for her work with the transgender community. "There is so much hostility for trans people in the trans community at the moment and you've been consistently an ally. "We see you and we really appreciate it, you really use your platform for good" Paris said, to which Lorraine responded: "You're going to make me cry." Paris continued: "Honestly, not everyone is there speaking up for us. We're less than 0.5 percent of the population and we are under attack. You are using your platform for good and you are a friend. "I should have brought some flowers or something. I hereby declare you an honorary diva." Lorraine could be seen wiping a tear from her eye as she said: "I'll take that!"
