A CORONATION Street legend has secretly tied the knot with her long-term love.
Actress Sue Devaney – who plays businesswoman Debbie Webster in the ITV soap – walked down the aisle with former BBC journalist Jim O’Farrell.
The Sun can exclusively reveal that Sue and Jim wed in a stunning ceremony earlier this year in Skipton after a three year engagement.
Bride Sue looked stunning in a gorgeous red gown teamed with black detailing.
Friends and family watched as the couple said their vows and exchanged rings in the lowkey ceremony.
A source said: “It was a beautiful day. Sue looked a million dollars. It was a lovely ceremony and very low key considering Sue’s fame. Everyone is really happy for them.”
It is the first marriage for Sue who previously opened up about never marrying or having children because of her job and successful career starring in everything from Dinnerladies to Heartbeat, Shameless to Mamma Mia on a worldwide tour.
Speaking in 2016, she told The Big Issue: “I never married because I was married to the job.
“I never had any children and I’m now nearly 50 and I think I’ve missed that opportunity but it’s only because I was busy doing what I was doing.”
She added: ”People think you can have it all – I don’t think you can. I like to do one thing and not juggle about 25 plates.
“I’ve got a lovely partner and my sister and my niece. I’ve got a life outside of acting.”
Sue first starred in Coronation Street in 1984 for a year before quitting to take on new roles.
She returned after 34 years in 2019 for a brief stint before making a permanent comeback in 2020.
Her return has been one of Corrie’s biggest success stories with Debbie being exposed as the brains behind a scheme that threatened to ruin the cobbles ahead of the show’s big 60th anniversary.
The beloved British soap has been captivating audiences for decades.
The show follows the lives of the residents as they navigate love, loss, family drama, and community struggles.

Since then she’s been redeemed and become an integral part of the show.
