LUCY Fallon is selling her clothes online after admitting work has dried up since she quit Coronation Street.
The 24-year-old, who played Bethany Platt on the ITV soap, has put her old clothes up for sale on Depop.
Lucy drew attention to her wares on her Instagram Stories, sharing a screenshot of her Depop account.
She wrote: “Selling lots of tings on my depop. Swipe up to have a nosey xxxx.”
Among the items up for grabs are a £75 Mulberry purse and £20 dresses from H&M and Topshop.
The soap star bid farewell to Corrie two months ago, after playing wild child Bethany Platt for five years.
Speaking to The Sun, Lucy admitted her career has been floored by the coronavirus pandemic and that she’s struggling to get work.
She said: “It was really difficult to make the decision to leave, but I’d been there for five years and it was all I’d ever known.
“I’d never done theatre or anything away from Corrie and after the grooming storyline where I won quite a few awards, which was amazing, I realised if I didn’t leave and try other things I might end up wondering, ‘What if?’”
She went on: “But obviously Covid-19 has thrown it all up in the air now.
“As I left, work was starting to pick up and take off and now everything has stopped. But I do know there are loads of people in much worse situations than me and I’ve been very lucky.
“I’m trying to stay positive about it, but it’s obviously a bit sad having nothing to do.”
The actress was reportedly earning £100,000 a year for her role on Corrie, which featured a punishing schedule of filming six days a week.
Lucy is currently isolating in her newly-renovated house with her boyfriend Tom Leech and admitted she’s been having down days in lockdown.
The TV star – who dyed her hair peach in lockdown – wrote: “Feeling a bit emotional today – so I have made some peanut butter protein cookies for Tom and I’m just sat on the floor waiting for them to be done.
“Hope everyone is hanging in there and feeling ok.”
