Sue Cleaver is best known for her 25-year portrayal of Eileen Grimshaw on Coronation Street, a role that made her one of British television’s most recognisable and trusted faces. Spending decades at the heart of a much-loved series has given her a rare instinct for storytelling, timing, and emotional connection, skills that translate naturally to live audiences.
Alongside her acting career, Sue has become a familiar and popular presence on unscripted television. As a regular panellist on Loose Women and a memorable contestant on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, she has shown the same honesty, humour, and ease that viewers respond to on screen. She is also the author of A Work In Progress, published by Bloomsbury, in which she reflects candidly on life, change, and personal growth, informed by her three years of training as a psychotherapist.
Sue brings this warmth, clarity, and a relaxed sense of humour to every event.
Equally comfortable handling light-hearted moments or more reflective conversations, Sue has a natural ability to put people at ease and draw them in. Her experience navigating public life while staying grounded gives her an engaging, down-to-earth perspective that resonates across audiences and generations.
Audiences respond to Sue’s ability to blend entertainment with substance. They come away with a renewed appreciation for open conversation, relatable insights into life’s challenges, and a sense of connection that feels genuine rather than rehearsed. Her appearances are inclusive, relaxed, and personal, shaped by decades of working with stories that matter.
Book Sue to bring authenticity, humour, and hard-won insight to your event through someone who truly understands connection.
