The former Coronation Street actress, 67,  returned to the spotlight after opening up about her devastating battle with depression 

Beverly spoke to the hosts about her lowest ever moment, recounting: ‘I was hit with it in 2010. I was hospitalised for three months.

‘I was terrified about people knowing about it. Absolutely terrified. 

‘The tabloids wanted to know why I was missing from my job, there was a feeling of guilt and shame and people thinking I was maybe weak.

‘I think clinical depression is not that, it’s the curse of the strong. It affects people pleasers and people who don’t stop. It is important to talk.’

She added: ‘I’ve never posted anything on social medial before.

‘Everyone does “Oh my life is great on social media, don’t they, I’m living my best life”, John said to me, just say how you’re really feeling.

‘I had this bad day fortunately, it was only a couple of days, he said say it because you will help so many people.’

Jon said: ‘It was a few years ago, there was no help for the partners, so I’ve got to lean about this and the more I can help Beverley.’    

Beverley said: ‘For the partner, they need to retain their own idenтιтy, there’s no help for them its really hard living with someone who is going through that, in that black hole.’ 

During her stint on the Cobbles the star was struggling, but there came a point where she needed help. 

Beverley said: ‘You sort of act in real life, but there was a point in 2010 when I couldn’t cover it up at all. 

‘My body had gone into shutdown, when I went into hospital Jon said I looked like a 100-year-old woman.

‘So learning lines became really difficult. But I did it.’ 

The Corrie favourite pleaded with those watching at home to open up more if they are struggling.  

Beverley explained: ‘Today is time to talk day. It’s important we talk about it. 

‘At the moment we have 8.7 million on anti depressants, I have to take medication myself and I probably will the rest of my life. 

‘But a lot of people don’t have to.

‘I think if they had more access to talking therapies or talk to each other, it would help a great deal. 

‘There still is stigma about mental health, we’re chipping away, but to talk about it, helps get rid of that stigma and helps you get better.’
