It was recently announced Coronation Street<\/a>’s Sue Cleaver<\/a> is one of the many ITV<\/a> stars departing from the soap.<\/p>\n

The Eileen Grimshaw star, 59, has played her role in the hit ITV soap since the year 2000<\/a>, but will soon say goodbye to the show.<\/p>\n

Not a spotlight-seeker, Sue has previously said of her personal life: ‘I do keep my life private and I am very happy with my home life.’<\/p>\n

But for anyone wondering, who is Sue’s husband, and what has she said about him?<\/p>\n

And does she have any kids?<\/p>\n

Sue is married to Brian Owen, a lighting technician for ITV.<\/p>\n

The couple met on Coronation Street, and left their previous relationships to be together in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

They’ve been together ever since.<\/p>\n

As of 2019, it seems the pair still work together on the Corrie set, too \u2013 as Sue revealed during a segment on This Morning<\/a>, where she discussed her terrifying battle with sepsis.<\/p>\n

She said at the time: ‘My husband, who also works on Corrie, he was on a night shoot and he had to ring me.<\/p>\n

‘He said to his colleagues \u2013 something\u2019s not right, I can’t hear what she’s saying because her teeth are chattering so much… He rang our daughter-in-law who\u2019s a paramedic and she said, \u2018Get her to hospital\u2019.’<\/p>\n

The couple share a pup named George Paws, who often features on Sue’s Instagram. Sadly, in October last year, the star confirmed the beloved pooch had died.<\/a><\/p>\n

Previously, Sue was married to actor James Quinn from 1993 to 2003, who she met in 1991.<\/p>\n

Fans might recognise James from roles in soaps including Corrie (as D.S. Willetts), Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, and Doctors, as well as TV series Early Doors and 2017 film Apostasy.<\/p>\n

The exes appear to get along well, and even put on a play together in 2009 \u2013 called Marriages Made In Heaven. <\/p>\n

James told Manchester Evening News at the time: ‘It\u2019s quite funny to be doing this with Sue. Although we got divorced, we get on well, but we haven\u2019t acted together on stage since we first met in a play in 1991.’<\/p>\n

Does Sue Cleaver have children?<\/h2>\n

Sue has one son, Elliott Quinn, reportedly born in 1998, who she shares with ex-husband James.<\/p>\n

We don’t know much about Elliott, though he did appear at the 2018 British Soap Awards for a rare walk down the red carpet with his mum \u2013 though it seems he’s now a parent himself.<\/p>\n

Yep, Sue is also a grandma!<\/p>\n

She recently took Instagram to reveal she’d become a grandmother for the fourth time, in fact \u2013 with a few heart emojis alongside an adorable snap of the newborn baby.<\/p>\n

It’s not entirely clear how many children her husband, Brian, has from previous relationships.<\/p>\n

Why is Sue leaving Coronation Street?<\/h2>\n

Sue is saying goodbye to Coronation Street as she now wants to ’embrace change’.<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking about her time on the cobbles, Sue said: \u2018I\u2019ve had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tCoronation Street cast exits – who is going?\t\t\t<\/h2>\n
\n

Sue Devaney as Debbie Webster<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fans have been left distraught at news of Debbie’s upcoming departure, with the character being written out as part of a storyline focusing on dementia.<\/a><\/p>\n

A source told Metro<\/strong>: ‘It\u2019s one of the show\u2019s biggest storylines of the year, and a real chance for Sue to finally get her time in the spotlight \u2013 it will just be devastating for fans that it will effectively be her final storyline.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s one of many major storylines new boss Kate Brooks<\/a> has in the bag, and there will not be a dry eye in the house.<\/p>\n

\u2018There is no doubt in the Corrie family that she will give the performance of a lifetime and make Debbie\u2019s exit one to remember for years.\u2019<\/p>\n

Sue Cleaver as Eileen Grimshaw<\/strong><\/p>\n

Loose Women and I’m A Celebrity star Sue has been central to the show for two and a half decades but now she will be saying goodbye.<\/a><\/p>\n

She confirmed: \u2018I\u2019ve had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The door is still firmly open, but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures, and live fearlessly.’<\/p>\n

Colson Smith as Craig Tinker<\/strong><\/p>\n

After 14 years, Corrie has decided to also write out police officer Craig<\/a>, with the actor sharing his love for the show on social media following the decision, delivered to him last year.<\/p>\n

He said: ‘I’ve loved every single second of my 14-year stay as a resident on the greatest street in the world. I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up in, on and around Coronation Street.<\/p>\n

‘I’ve learnt pretty much everything about life from the people who call it home. I’m excited to play out the exit story for our Craigy. For me, this is just the end of the beginning.<\/p>\n

‘I genuinely can’t wait to see what chapter 2 has in store for me. Long live the cobbles!’<\/p>\n

Charlotte Jordan as Daisy Midgeley<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a very busy four years on the show, Daisy is set to leave as part of a currently to-secret explosive storyline<\/a>, with Charlotte keen to try other projects.<\/p>\n

She said in a statement: ‘My time at Coronation Street is something I\u2019ll always cherish.<\/p>\n

‘After a brilliant four years for Daisy, it\u2019s time for me to start a new chapter and explore other opportunities.<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s been a privilege to be part of a wonderful institution with even more wonderful colleagues who have taught me so much.’<\/p>\n

Shelley King as Yasmeen Metcalfe<\/strong><\/p>\n

After 10 years, Yasmeen will be departing the cobbles – and she has already filmed her final scenes<\/a> in December, so expect her last episode soon. <\/p>\n

Metro<\/strong> understands that she won’t be killed off.<\/p>\n

A show insider has clarified: \u2018Shelley spoke to producers early last year and advised that after 10 years on the show and being involved in many major storylines during the past decade she had decided the time has come for her to explore other opportunities. <\/p>\n

\u2018Shelley is an accomplished stage and television actress and we fully understand her desire to take her career in another direction after 10 years playing the same role. <\/p>\n

\u2018She filmed her final scenes in December.\u2019<\/p>\n

Paddy Bever as Max Turner<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Paddy having filmed his final scenes, it is expected he will leave in spring.<\/p>\n

\u2018After much reflection and in an incredibly difficult decision, I have chosen to step away from Max, and Coronation Street,<\/em> to explore new opportunities. I have been surrounded by such kindness and support every step of the way, Paddy, 22, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Talking to The Mirror<\/a>, he added: \u2018It\u2019s been a great privilege to contribute to the legacy of such a well-loved and iconic show. This chapter has been unforgettable and while I look forward to what lies ahead, I will treasure these memories.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\u2018The door is still firmly open, but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures, and live fearlessly,\u2019 Sue added.<\/p>\n

It is understood that she made the decision in the summer, after her appearance in the Sister Act musical tour. She returned to the stage for the first time in about three decades.<\/p>\n

Sue will bow out later this year as her exit storyline – which involves Eileen’s sister Julie<\/a> – airs in spring.<\/p>\n
