Star of this year's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! Sue Cleaver has two famous sisters that she didn't know about. The Coronation Street actress revealed she didn't meet her sisters until she was in her 20s.
Sue has opened up to her campmates about being adopted and meeting her birth mother as an adult. The 59-year-old told fellow jungle stars about her past while sat around the firepit.
Yorkshire Live reports Sue told them: "It was when I was at drama school, I was about 22/24 and Royal Exchange were looking for little tiny parts for Oedipus." She said when she walked in, an actor exclaimed: "Oh my god, she's the absolute double of my wife when I met her."

He then asked her when she was born and where before ringing his wife, saying: 'I've found her." After reconnecting with her mum, Sue also discovered she had two half-sisters, actresses Emma and Kate Harbour.
Sue added: "It’s lovely because my mum and my birth mother, we’ve all met, been out for dinner, we’ve all kept in touch. So, we’ve all had lovely relationships ever since - so it’s a nice ending. I’m very lucky."
Kate, the older of her two siblings, is an established voice actress who has featured in TV shows such as Bob the Builder. She has also appeared in Casualty, Doctors, Midsomer Murders, Heartbeat and Dixon of Dock Green.
Meanwhile, Sue's little sister Emma Bowe is known for playing Jayne Morgan in Coronation Street in 2001 and a doctor at Weatherfield General in 2017. She was most recently in the soap in 2020.
Emma is married to former Corrie star John Bowe. Sue, who has type 2 diabetes, is also married to someone she met on the Corrie set: lighting technician Brian Owen.
The couple share a pup named George Paws, who often features on Sue’s Instagram. Sue also has one son, Elliott Quinn, who she shares with ex-husband James Quinn. Just before heading into the Australian jungle, Sue revealed she had become a grandmother for a fourth time.
