The 61-year-old actress - who plays Liz McDonald on the ITV soap - was left devastated when her former 'Corrie' co-star, who played Deirdre Barlow, passed away in January 2015 from breast cancer aged 60, and Bev still thinks about her fellow former cobbles resident all the time.

She said: "I'm still in touch with her brother, and his wife Jackie, and her two nephews, who are really talented musicians.

"It will be four years in January, believe it or not. It's gone so fast, especially at work.

"I miss her every single day. I do, honestly.

"Liz and Deirdre were just great. We knew exactly what each other would do and how we would play a scene, so yeah I do miss her."

One of Bev's recent 'Corrie' storylines has seen her sleep with Johnny Connor (Richard Hawley), whose wife Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) was left devastated, but the actress doesn't think her character would've done such a thing to another woman.

She said: "I have to tell you, when they first gave me the scripts and Liz slept with Johnny I was like no, no I don't want to do this.

"Because Liz wouldn't do that to another woman, I don't think.

"I don't think she would have slept with a married man, but I have no say in that.

"More often than not you get scripts and you just love them and think, 'This is amazing,' but occasionally you can think 'I just don't think she would do that.' "

As well as some of the scripts, Bev is also not a big fan of some of Liz's outfits, admitting she is reluctant to step out of her dressing room because of the "horrific" garments her character likes to wear.

Speaking on 'Loose Women', she added: "They are disgusting, sometimes I go into the dressing room and the clothes are there and they're just sort of laid on a chair for you to wear and sometimes I look and think 'I dare not set foot outside of this dressing room.'

"They are horrific."
