A well-known Coronation Street actor was knocked unconscious during the filming of a scene.

Sue Cleaver, known for her role as Eileen Grimshaw on the popular soap opera Coronation Street, recently revealed a behind-the-scenes incident that had her knocked out cold. In her new memoir, A Work in Progress, the 61-year-old actress shared the details of the intense scene that sent her to the hospital.

It all happened during a heated scene with her co-star Judy Holt, who accidentally punched Sue in the face. Despite practicing the stunt and having a stunt advisor on set, things didn't go as planned and Sue ended up unconscious on the ground. Fortunately, the sound of the real punch was used in the final edit, so the incident wasn't entirely in vain.

This isn't the first time Sue has opened up about her personal struggles. She also shared in her memoir about her past experiences with promiscuity and seeking love and validation in all the wrong places. At the young age of 16, she ran off with a sailor and lived in a bedsit. At 17, she found herself pregnant after falling for a 35-year-old man. Looking back, Sue realizes that these relationships were not healthy and the men involved took advantage of her.

In contrast to her character's tumultuous love life, Sue's real-life marriage to actor James Quinn lasted from 1993 to 2003. They first met in 1991 and James is known for his roles in various soaps and TV series. Sue is now happily married to Brian Owen, a lighting technician for ITV.

Fans of Coronation Street may have noticed Eileen's absence from the show since June. This is because Sue took an extended break to star as Mother Superior in a touring production of Sister Act. Despite the temporary hiatus, viewers can look forward to seeing Eileen back on their screens soon.
