Beverley Callard is to host classes at her local gym.

The 65-year-old actress quit her long-running role as former Rovers Return landlady Liz McDonald on 'Coronation Street' back in 2020 and is now set to launch a fitness venture for "strong feisty women" in Norfolk.

Speaking in a video posted to Instagram, she said: "I just wanted to say hello, strong feisty women. I am absolutely so excited. Thank you so much for your questionnaires, there are lots of strong feisty women in this area which I'm thrilled about. I can't wait to meet you all! I'm hoping to meet you all individually at some point for a little chat. Just to get to know each other a bit. Anyone who hasn't filled a form in, please fill them in now because there are many ladies who want to join me for the class and I can't wait! I'll see you soon"

The 'Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps' actress - who starred in a string of exercise videos in the late 1980s and early 1990s and also hosted a fitness slot on GMTV - thanked her fans once again in the caption of the post as she encouraged her followers to get in touch.

She wrote: "Thank you to all of you who have been in touch already! Those of you who have emailed but not filled in the questionnaire yet, please send me them! If you’re interested in being one of my 25 strong women and part of my new fitness classes.. email me Beverleysresults@gmail.com."(sic)

The soap legend - who is married to record studio owner Jon McEwan but has Rebecca, 47, and Joshua, 33, from previous relationships - used to be based in Manchester for filming but moved to Norfolk earlier this year following her departure from 'Coronation Street.'

Back in April 2022, she said: "We are absolutely loving our new home and we wake up to this gorgeous view every day. You might have thought that I’ve been quiet (or maybe not!) but we have been very busy moving to Norfolk."
