OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Coronation Street’ have congratulated Sally Dynevor on her MBE.
The soap star – who has played Sally Metcalfe on the ITV soap since 1986 – has been recognised in the New Year Honours list for her services to drama.
A message on the soap’s Instagram account read: “A huge congratulations to Sally Dynevor for being recognised in the New Year’s Honours list and being awarded an MBE.⠀
“Just imagine Sally Metcalfe’s reaction if it was her.”
Sally has admitted she is “still in shock” about her MBE [Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire], despite finding out a month ago.
She said: “I am humbled, grateful and very proud to have received this honour.
“I am still in shock.
“I didn’t believe it was real when I first found out earlier this month that I was to be given an MBE. Keeping it a secret has been so difficult.”
Earlier this month, Sally admitted she is “so proud” of how many people’s lives ‘Coronation Street’ has touched – and she wants to be part of the soap for another 60 years.
She said: “I’m so proud of ‘Coronation Street’. It’s just such an incredible programme to be part of.
“I was so happy to be involved in this domestic abuse storyline. It’s so important.
“When I watch montages of years gone by and all the stories we’ve covered over the years, I’m just so proud of this programme.
“How many people’s lives this has touched – it’s incredible.
“The brilliant thing about ‘Corrie’ is that we play the tragedy stories, but we also play the comedy stories.
“I think that’s why ‘Coronation Street’ has stayed where it is for the last 60 years, because the two go so well hand in hand.
“I think ‘Corrie’ does that better than any other programme.
“As long as we are writing the comedy and the tragedy and we have got our characters and our youth coming through it’ll be on forever.
“Hopefully it’ll last for another 60 years – and we’ll all still be there.”
