Prior to joining Coronation Street as Eileen, Sue managed to bag parts in popular shows such as A Touch of Frost, Casualty and Victoria Wood's Dinnerladies. But, in 2000 Sue landed a small role in a major film, The Man Who Cried, which also starred Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci and Cate Blanchett.
Before that, Sue also appeared in the movie Girls' Night in 1988, which starred Julie Walters and Brenda Blethyn. But it was her role as Eileen that made her a household name. However, the beloved character made Sue nervous to enter the jungle, admitting a fear that viewers might not like her as much as her on-screen persona!

"This is the scariest part for me, I am a very private person and I am putting myself out there, which is what I am most nervous about," she said during the ITV show. "Viewers are going to see a different person to the person they think I am! I am very different. That can be worrying.
"It will be interesting for them – and for me as well – for people to see me outside of my character, but they'll get a glimpse of the real Sue in a very strange situation."
