Sally Dynevor 'signs new Coronation Street contract'

Sally Dynevor has signed a new one-year contract with 'Coronation Street'.

The 59-year-old actress has played Sally Metcalfe in the ITV soap since 1986, and she's now committed herself to the show for another year.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "For many, Sally is 'Corrie' so bosses were chuffed she chose to renew her contract."

Michael LeVell - who plays the part of Kevin Webster - has also signed a new contract.

The 58-year-old actor joined the long-running soap in 1983 and he has already appeared in more than 3,000 episodes of 'Coronation Street'.

In fact, between them, Sally and Michael have appeared in almost 7,000 episodes of the show.

Earlier this year, meanwhile, Sally revealed that she would love to work with her daughter Phoebe.

The 27-year-old actress shot to worldwide stardom as Daphne in the hit Netflix series 'Bridgerton', and Sally admitted that she'd relish the chance to work with her daughter one day.

She said: "I would like to do something with Phoebe. That would be a dream, I would love that. It would be amazing being on screen or on stage with her."

Sally has Phoebe, Samuel, 25, and Harriet, 19, with scriptwriter Tim Dynevor, and Phoebe previously admitted that her mum has been delighted by the success of 'Bridgerton', which is one of Netflix's most-watched shows.

Phoebe - who began her career as a child actress, appearing in the BBC drama 'Waterloo Road' - shared: "She is very proud and excited. I watched the show with the whole family, even the grandparents managed to watch it.

"I had to sit there and fast forward on high alert with the remote control. We managed it just about!"
