Coronation Street's Sue Cleaver enjoys 'sneaky' date with TV 'husband'

Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver headed out for lunch with "one of her husbands" on Friday.

The actress has played Eileen Grimshaw in the long-running ITV soap since 2000. The character quickly became a fan favourite with her no-nonsense manner.

More recently, Sue, 59, had a stint in the I'm a Celebrity jungle. She was eliminated third, coming ninth of all the contestants in camp.

During her time on the gruelling reality show, Sue grew close to a number of fellow campmates. One of whom was Mike Tindall, who struck up an unlikely friendship with the soap star.

When Sue left the jungle, Mike said he felt like he had experienced a "divorce". And now Sue has made a similarly evocative comment.

Heading out for lunch with Mike on Friday, Sue shared a selfie of them together. Captioning the post on Instagram, she said: "Gorgeous sneaky lunch with one of my husbands - sorry to my other ones, your time will come".

Sue is in a relationship with Brian Owen, who she met on the set of Corrie when he was working as a lighting technician. She has also previously referred to Good Morning Britain's Richard Arnold as her "other hubby", as they are close friends.

Fans are loving her latest update, with many rushing to comment. Nerys said: "Lovely photo x", while Tasha said: "Get Mike on Coronation Street", and Erin said: "Both looking great Sue".
