ITV's Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor fears 'life is too short'
Coronation Street's Sally Dynevor is planning to make a big change with her husband Tim as she fears 'life is too short'. The soap legend has played the iconic Sally Webber (also Seddon and Metcalfe) on the cobbles for nearly 40 years. Like her on-screen Weatherfield character, she too battled breast cancer 15 years ago. Reflecting on her experiences with her husband, 63-year-old writer and actor Tim Dynevor, who is also a cancer survivor, Sally told The Mirror: "Going through something like that makes you want to embrace life all the more. Remembering that time today when Sally Webster and Kevin Webster both got really into litter picking on Corrie — Corrieposting (@Corrieposting) June 16, 2025 "We'd love to do more travelling. We're trying really hard to just do lots of lovely things while we can. You just don't know what's round the corner, do you? That's why we've decided we should do a couple of our bucket list things." Highlighting a shift in perspective on life's indulgences, she remarked: "We all put stuff off and think 'it's too expensive, I'm not going to do that.' But we're in our 60s now and this is the time to be doing these things. "Obviously, I'm not getting the stories that I used to get, but when I do get a story, I really look forward to doing it and really enjoy it."

A dedicated breast cancer campaigner, she's gearing up for an ambitious week-long hike up Mount Kilimanjaro – Africa's tallest peak – this September, joined by her 28-year-old son Sam, who works in PR, to support Prevent Breast Cancer. "I am quite nervous about it," Sally confesses. "We're camping in the middle of nowhere and it's very cold when you get up to the top. "But I'm determined and I'm definitely going to do my very best to get to the summit. I know people struggle with altitude sickness, but we've got a great guide and I think it's important to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Life is exciting when you challenge yourself. It's a big wide world out there."

The Coronation Street actress was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 - when her character on the ITV1 soap Sally Webster also learnt she had the disease, who has since recovered - but after having a lumpectomy and six months of chemotherapy, she made a full recovery. Sally's 63-year-old husband, actor Tim Dynevor, was diagnosed with cancer in 2023 and is now cancer-free, and now the pair are making sure to fill their life with adventure. In an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper, she said: "Going through something like that makes you want to embrace life all the more. "We'd love to do more travelling. We're trying really hard to just do lots of lovely things while we can. "You just don't know what's around the corner, do you?

"But we're in our 60s now and this is the time to be doing these things." The 62-year-old star - who raised £100,000 for Prevent Breast Cancer after she trekked up to Mount Everest base camp, Nepal, in 2019 - feels "nervous" ahead of her mammoth challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, in October with her 28-year-old son Sam, in aid of the charity. She said: "I am quite nervous about it. We're camping in the middle of nowhere and it's very cold when you get up to the top. "But I'm determined and I'm definitely going to do my very best to get to the summit. "I know people struggle with altitude sickness, but we've got a great guide and I think it's important to push yourself out of your comfort zone. "Life is exciting when you challenge yourself. It's a big wide world out there." Sally said her cancer diagnosis in 2009 affected Tim, Sam and her daughters, Phoebe, 30, and Hattie, 21. The 2022 Dancing on Ice contestant admitted: "That's one of the worst things - the impact on families. It affects everyone in your circle." And Sally hopes she and Tim will now have good health for the rest of their lives. The star said: "You walk out and you just feel so grateful. "While it's been awful, we look at it in a positive way and think, 'We've both been through it now, that's our blip.' Article continues below "Hopefully now we'll live long and happy lives, with nothing more happening to us."

EXCLUSIVE Waterloo Road star Hattie Dynevor reveals her sister Phoebe is her 'biggest inspiration' - as she lifts lid on run in with HUGE Hollywood star
Hattie Dynevor has revealed that her sister Phoebe is her 'biggest inspiration' as she gushed over her famous family. The Waterloo Road star, 21, is the younger sister of Bridgerton star Phoebe, 30, and the daughter of Coronation Street actress Sally, 61. She has followed in the footsteps of her family in recent years, making her own venture into acting playing Libby Guthrie in BBC 's Waterloo Road. And speaking to MailOnline at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool on Saturday, Hattie admitted that her big sister is her 'biggest inspiration'. 'They [her mum and sister] have been so supportive, we're a very supportive family,' she said. 'We're all really close as well which is so lovely. My sister is obviously my biggest inspiration and we went to Paris Fashion Week together. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'That was amazing. It was so incredible just to watch her, and yeah we had the best time.' Hattie went on to dish the dirt on meeting a huge Hollywood star while at Paris Fashion Week. 'I met Emma Stone in Paris and she was so lovely,' she said. 'It was amazing to meet her.' Hattie was born in the Trafford area of Greater Manchester and arrived into a home focused on the small screen, giving her the perfect platform to crack the industry. She entered the public consciousness with an appearance on Lorraine alongside her father Tim in 2019 and an interview with OK! sitting beside her mother Sally, before landing her breakthrough role in Waterloo Road in April 2023. She is well known for her role as history teacher Neil Guthrie's daughter in the classic show, entering the fray two years ago for the 13th series. Hattie made such an impact on the school drama that she returned to play Libby in the 14th season last year. The star also made an appearance in an episode of the ITV series Drama Queens alongside her mother Sally. She has been making waves at various TV galas of late, oozing sophistication in the pink lace corseted dress at the RTS event in Manchester in November. Waterloo Road, about a troubled comprehensive school set in Rochdale, Lancashire, helped put her sister Phoebe, 30, on the map 16 years ago when she secured the role of Siobhan Mailey. She followed up the breakthrough with a supporting role in BBC drama Prisoners' Wives as the character Lauren, who is the daughter of a gangster. Older sister Phoebe also impressed as Martha Cratchit in BBC series Dickensian and played Clare, Josh's Irish fiancee, in the comedy show Younger in 2017. But her career-defining moment came in 2020 when she was cast as Daphne Bridgerton, the lead character in the opening season of Netflix's period drama Bridgerton. She appeared again, albeit in a much smaller role, in season two, but was completely absent in season three - which she and fans lamented. This triggered a wave of opportunities in the world of film and Phoebe played ceramicist Clarice Cliff in The Colour Room in 2021 before starring in the Bank Of Dave in 2023 alongside Rory Kinnear. She then acted opposite Alden Ehrenreich in the thriller Fair Play which received widespread critical acclaim. These roles have led her to hobnob with the great and the good of American show-business and Phoebe, who recently covered Porter magazine, made a fashion-forward appearance at a screening for her new film Inheritance in New York City.
