Former Coronation Street star Amanda Barrie believes she would have been fired from the ITV show if she’d come out as bisexual in the 1980s.
The 86-year-old actor was discussing her run on the famous British soap opera during a recent episode of the all-things-Corrie podcast Conversation Street.
Barrie said there were incessant rumours about her sexual identity during the time that she was working on Coronation Street, despite her marriage to Hunter.
Barrie came out as bisexual in 2003 in her autobiography It’s Not A Rehearsal, and married her long-term partner Hilary Bonner in 2014.
