Sue Nicholls' 'Nice' Job

Sue Nicholls thinks 'Coronation Street' is a "jolly nice" place to work.

The actress - who has portrayed glamorous hairdresser Audrey Roberts on the ITV1 show for 31 years - loves being part of the Weatherfield-based soap and considers herself lucky to have worked on such "hot" storylines.

She said: "I can't believe I'm still there. It's jolly nice too - it's the best job to have, especially in this day and age when they are no jobs anyway. Everybody wants to be in it so it must have something going for it! I've been so lucky and if I think back over the years all the people have been lovely and the stories have been hot."

The 66-year-old actress believes it is her co-stars who have helped give her character longevity.

She explained to DigitalSpy: "Being with Amanda Barrie was lovely, and of course Brian Mosley who sadly died - and it's thanks to Brian or whoever - if they hadn't married Audrey off to Alf, who knows I might just have been another tart with a heart passing through."
