Another said: “Me too, can’t believe how different she looks.”
Meanwhile another said: “You look amazing, love your dress.”
And Loose Women anchor Charlene White was also quick to comment, saying: “Look at my gorgeous friend.”
The ITV soap actress is best known for playing Eileen Grimshaw on Corrie, who is often seen at the bar of the Rovers Return.
But in reality, Sue, who has starred on Corrie for 23 years, hardly drinks and has attributed her weight loss to giving up wine after overconsumption during the pandemic.
She said: “In the pandemic we all over-did things. I spent a lot of it drinking lots of lovely red wine and I put on a lot of weight doing it.
"Then I did dry January and I thought: ‘I wonder what life would be like if I stopped completely?’”
But it was after discovering that she had type 2 diabetes in 2011, that since her mid 50s, Sue has been more health conscious. She decided to follow the Mediterranean diet which she said back in 2019 helped her to drop 3 dress sizes from a size 16 to a size 12.
“I want a few more adventures. It becomes your default to stay in this safe little world that you’ve created and not step outside it and rock the boat.
"It’s a different phase of my life. I’m not responsible for anybody anymore and I feel a lot more confident."
