Coronation Street star Sally Ann Matthews left the role of Jenny Connor aged 21 to prove her critics wrong

The much-loved actress was just 15-years-old when she started playing the role of Jenny Bradley, the daughter of villainous Alan and foster mum Rita Tanner.

She waved goodbye to the cobbles in 1993 after seven years in the role trying to cope with the fame and growing up - and vowed to "gain respect". "I would have made some money for a couple of years and that would have been the end of me and I'm not interested in doing that. So I fought against it [a return] for a long time."

After coming back to the cobbles, Sally discovered that she is actually related to one of her former co-stars. Sally pointed out they have the same cheeky sense of humour, both like dancing and always felt close. Another secret about Sally is her hidden talent for singing - as fans were stunned by her incredible voice last December.
