'And I am going to have fun. I am going to do what I want to do and I am going to come out from hiding away and just being this mum who was very like ''this is my main priority'', and I just want to do things that are fun. It started with me going into the jungle.'

Sue is set to star in the touring stage production of Sister Act, and has taken a short break from Corrie to appear in the show.

Asked whether she'll return to the soap, she said: 'I have a few months grace off Corrie to do this show then I'll be straight back in there. I think George and Eileen should have a big Corrie wedding.'

Sue had previously shared that after completing dry January she decided to give up booze all together. 

She said: 'I lost 18lb [in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here]. I'd already lost a stone and a half that year, because I gave up booze. I did Dry January and then I decided to carry on.

'I know it sounds ridiculous at my age, but I never really thought about how many calories I was consuming when I was having a glass of red wine while cooking dinner and then a couple more while eating it. 

'If you're doing that four or five nights a week, that's a lot of calories.'

Last year, Sue admitted she 'over-did red wine' during the pandemic and piled on the pounds,' which inspired her to give it up.

Despite her Corrie character Eileen Grimshaw spending a lot of time in The Rovers, she admitted that pubs are her 'idea of hell.'

Speaking Kaye Adams on her How to be 60 podcast, Sue said: 'In the pandemic we all over-did things. I spent a lot of it drinking lots of lovely red wine and I put on a lot of weight doing it.

'Then I did dry January and I thought. 'I wonder what life would be like if I stopped completely?''

The actress added her husband Brian Owen, shares different views and 'love pub culture.'

'It was my idea of hell when I drank and especially now that I don't drink,' she said.

In January, Sue revealed she felt 'shamed and judged' before losing three stone. 

Appearing as a guest panellist on Loose Women, the soap star revealed she has been treated differently while at different weights.

She explained: 'My weight has been up down all over the place and most of it was helped by red wine. 

'At the minute I am a lot thinner but I've been ill this year and for some reason my metabolism seems to have changed and because I'm not drinking. But I have been the other way and I might go back the other way.'

Sue continued: KetoXplode Erfahrungsberichte 'What I hate about it is the shame that is attached to being a bigger person. The judgments made, quite often from other women. 

'I find it really hard to take We're not stupid, we know we're big, we know we have a problem, we know we have an addiction, don't treat us like we are idiots. 

'Other women are shocking at it. It's so in us. Examples are when I've lost weight I go into a room and someone goes 'oh my god, you look amazing, you've lost weight' all I will hear is 'you looked like an absolute dog when you were big'. 

'It's how we talk about it that makes a big difference.'

Last year, Sue insisted she's 'not obsessed over diets' as she reflected on the unfair expectations placed on women while covering the March issue of Prima magazine.

She declared she would never promote any weight-related products as women have 'enough difficulties as it is'.

On not being embroiled in diet culture Sue told the publication: 'I lost some weight in the jungle, but I'm not obsessing over diets: life is hard enough!

'There's always going to be outside pressure and unfair expectations placed on women, but I refuse to get pulled into it.

'That's why I'll never promote anything weight-related, and it's why I'd always rather compliment somebody on their smile or their outfit, rather than their weight.'

She continued: 'Let's just let women be women - we have enough difficulties and struggles as it is.'

It comes after Sue warned her followers after diet companies used her image without consent while claiming she had lost weight using their gummies.

She alerted her 148,000 Instagram followers to the scam, apologising to anyone who had believed she was promoting it.

In the clip, she shared: 'I'm really, really sad that I have to actually make this video. But, I've had quite a lot of messages over the last couple of weeks asking me about… keto dummies.

'There is obviously some scam going around saying that I lost weight using keto gummies. Dummies? I dunno. Well, it's c**p. It's a scam. And if you've been taken in by it, I am so, so sorry.'

'It's outrageous. And I just want you to know that I would never, ever, ever advocate anything like that. I'm absolutely incensed.

'Yes, I lost some weight last year. I stopped drinking and I went in the jungle. Yes, I have lost weight this year. But not from any diet.'

Sue went on to reveal that she had 'women's health issues' which contributed to the weight loss, concluding: 'Life's too short to worry about dieting and finding quick fixes. Just be happy with yourself.'
