Coronation Street’s Sue Cleaver reveals she has no ‘fear around alcohol’ and does not think she is dependent on it.
The Eileen Grimshaw actress, 61, previously spoke about the health benefits of cutting down on her wine consumption and its impact on her weight loss.
The I’m A Celebrity star, who is on the cover of Prima’s November issue, spoke about her drink intake.
‘I don’t have any fear around alcohol any more, and that is really freeing,’ she explained.
‘I never imagined getting to that state. I thought I had a dependency. I thought I couldn’t get by without having a glass of wine at night.
She added: ‘I thought life wouldn’t be great without a glass of wine. It would be absolutely great without wine. I just thought it wouldn’t. It’s the thinking around it that is the problem.’
This comes after Sue revealed her weight loss actually came about after cutting out alcohol and her stint in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle.
During an episode of Loose Women, the soap star said she has been treated differently while at different weights.
‘My weight has been up down all over the place and most of it was helped by red wine,’ she told the ITV panel.
‘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.’
She continued: ‘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… don’t treat us like we are idiots.’
