Exclusive: Cherylee Houston, known to fans of the ITV soap for playing Izzy, also reacted to being on the cobbles for 13 years
Coronation Street star Cherylee Houston has jokingly shared her relief at the Stephen Reid storyline coming to an end with her character unscathed. The actress will be known to fans of the ITV soap for playing Izzy Armstrong.
And the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020 presented further difficulties, with Izzy shielding due to her EDS and dealing with feelings of isolation and a growing fear of the outside world. Carla Connor helped her through this difficult period by allowing her to work from home but as of the start of 2023, Izzy can be found living alone at 28 Grayling Street, Weatherfield, with Jake going to live with Gary and his family at 5 Victoria Court.
“13 years! mad,” she said in an exclusive chat with the Manchester Evening News. When asked if she can believe it’s been that long, she laughed: “No. It’s weird,” but added: “I’m very lucky.” “And we have a writer who's a wheelchair user and he said to me quite early on, ‘I was in the canteen and I was struggling because the coffee machine is a bit high’. He said somebody noticed and the next day it was lower and that is what is brilliant about Corrie. Everybody understands access, everybody understands how to implement it and that it’s quite easy. It becomes natural.
