OHMYGOSSIP — Sally Dynevor initially thought an email about her MBE was a “hoax”.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress – who has played Sally Metcalfe on the cobbles since 1986 – was honoured by Princess Anne at Windsor Castle on Wednesday (02.02.22) after being named in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours List in 2020 for her services to drama.
Speaking at the ceremony, Sally admitted she called up her son when she was first offered the MBE.
She revealed: “I said, ‘Sam, I’ve had this email and I’m really worried about it because it says I’m up for an MBE but that can’t be right.’ Sam said, ‘I don’t think anyone would joke about that, mum.’ ”
As reported by the BBC, Sally said Princess Anne told her how “dangerous” her decision to take part in the current series of ‘Dancing On Ice’ was.
She also took to Instagram after the ceremony to reflect on an “incredible” day.
Alongside a series of snaps of Sally with her medal, she wrote: “What an incredible morning.
“So many people I would like to thank @alissinc @livdaveymakeup.Thank you Liv, for my hair and makeup @coronationstreet @dancingonice @preventbreastcancer and of course @dynevortim (sic)”
While she was awarded her medal this week, Sally was named in the New Year Honours List in 2020.
She said at the time: “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.
“The young girl in those scenes [on ‘Coronation Street’] 35 years ago could only have dreamed of the incredible things that were going to happen in the coming years.”
