The 63-year-old actress is currently starring in 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!' and her husband Jon McEwan is planning a surprise vow renewal for her in the coming weeks.

He told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "We've been through everything - bankruptcy, depression, electroconvulsive therapy, hip operations. We got through it all together.

"So I thought, as a couple, we should celebrate where we are now. She's my queen already. Just by walking through the 'I'm A Celeb' gates, she's won in life."

Jon also revealed how he sees their vow renewal going.

He said: "In my head, I see candles everywhere, twinkly lights, intimate and romantic. I'm kind of happy we have these restrictions so the guest list doesn't get out of control."

Meanwhile, Beverley previously described depression as the "curse of the strong".

The former 'Coronation Street' actress made the claim after revealing she underwent electroconvulsive therapy to treat her own symptoms.

She shared: "I knew I wasn't myself and I knew I wasn't firing on all cylinders. I just didn't think anyone like me would have [depression] because I'm a strong, feisty female."

The actress "didn't want to socialise" at the height of her struggles.

She said: "First of all you feel unlovable - not that you're unloved. And you also find it difficult to love anybody else because you are in this black hole but you can't get yourself out of it."

Speaking about her depression struggles, she added: "I think clinical depression is a curse of the strong - I think you tend to be a people-pleaser, and a perfectionist.

"If something goes wrong, you try and remedy it yourself and, of course, you can't make yourself better."
