Coronation Street’s Claire Sweeney looks sensational in figure hugging pink dress ahead of ITV soap debut
CLAIRE Sweeney looked stunning in a striking hot pink dress ahead of her Coronation Street debut.
The Brookside legend, 52 – known for playing feisty Lindsey Corkhill – beamed in her chic gown with a one shoulder number which reached to the floor.
Claire styled her blonde locks in a stylish short bob and added a pop of colour as her lip colour matched her dress.
She beamed for the camera and she posed with journalist and DJ Pete Burrell, as they prepare to host an Eurovision event in Liverpool.
The soap star wrote in her Instagram caption: “At the launch of @bbceurovision with @petecityprice so excited. Then hosting tonight @euroclub2023 @campandfurnace @nationallottery.”
Fans rushed to the comment section to gush over her sensational look, as one said: “Fabulous in pink.”
Another added: “Rocking the dress it’s lovely!”
A third penned: “Stunning lady.”
Her glam look came just weeks after the soap favourite’s new role in Coronation Street was revealed.
The soap icon and West End star will play mechanic Tyrone Dobbs’ mum Cassie, making her debut in June.
Claire said: “Even though I’ve enjoyed an amazingly career, being in Coronation Street is, to me, better than being cast in a Hollywood movie.”
The show will be the fourth soap added to her long CV – she has also had roles in Holby City and Doctors.
Last year Claire revealed she had stopped weighing herself after saying scales can “wreck our heads”.
She posted a chart on Instagram showing her weight as well as other body measurements, with the image showing she had dropped from 12.06 stone to 11.86 stone in just two days.
Claire wrote: “Ok so this is mental!!! 6lbs lost in just two days.
“Goes to show, don’t rely on the scales. It could be time of day you weigh yourself, how you position them, time of the month. Water retention, all make the difference.”
She concluded: “I’m gonna use my favourite Jeans as a gauge from now on. No wonder scales can wreck our heads. Favourite jeans and photo diary from now on.”
