Coronation Street legend Beverley Callard has hit back at claims she used 'skinny jabs' to achieve her recent weight loss. The 68-year-old actress, best known for playing Liz McDonald, took to social media to address the speculation.
In a video posted on Friday, Callard insisted she has been working hard through diet and exercise. 'No girls, I am not on a skinny jab. I have worked out my whole life and I have been working my a** off, literally,' she said. She added that she would not judge anyone who uses such methods.
Callard, a qualified fitness instructor, released workout videos in the 1990s and wrote a fitness column for the Mirror. Since leaving Coronation Street in 2020, she has moved to Norfolk and started local exercise classes.
Fans rushed to support her, with one commenting: 'You have always looked amazing… we know you’ve done this with healthy eating and good exercise.' Another praised her DVD workouts, saying they still use them.
Callard also criticised the quality of soap scripts, telling The Sun: 'I personally don’t think the scripts are as good now. It’s not nine to five, it’s seven until ten at night, six days a week.'
