Beverley Callard: From Coronation Street Star to Reality TV Favourite

Beverley Callard is a veteran British actress best known for her decades-long role as Liz McDonald on Coronation Street. Her character’s bold style and dramatic storylines made her one of the soap’s most iconic figures. Since her Coronation Street debut in 1989, she has appeared on reality shows like I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! and shared her story on talk shows and documentaries. These appearances have introduced her to new audiences beyond soap opera fans. Callard has spoken openly about her personal life, including her marriage to Jon McEwan and her experiences with mental health and menopause.
