But while on-screen her character has been forced out of Weatherfield by her abusive father in law Geoff Metcalfe, Sally intends to stick around for the long haul.

And she is determined to replicate the longevity showed by the likes of cobbles legends Bill Roache, 88 and Barbara Knox, 86.

"When I look at Bill, Barbara and Sue Nicholls, they’re incredible," she told the .

"Nobody knows their lines better than them. I hope I’m still in the show in my 70s and 80s – if they’ll have me!

"I’m very sociable, I love coming in to work and I want to keep going as long as I can."

And Sally already knows who she wants her character to emulate in her later years - legendary battleaxe Ena Sharples, played by the late Violet Carson.

She added: "I’d like Sally to be more of a busybody when she’s older – somebody who thinks they’re right in everything they do or say.

"But I’d like her to be there for people, so she’s someone that people felt they could talk to – she’s also quite caring."

Sally shares three children - Phoebe, 25, Sam, 23, and Hattie, 16 - with Emmerdale scriptwriter husband Tim.
