Coronation Street legend Sally Dynevor enjoyed a wholesome reunion with her on-screen and real-life family over the weekend.
The Dancing on Ice star, 60, spent the weekend not only with her daughter Hattie Dynevor but also her fictional offspring, former Corrie stars Helen Flanagan and Brooke Vincent. Helen, who played Sally's daughter Rosie Webster on the ITV soap until 2018, beamed as she shared a snap of herself catching up with her on-screen mum and sibling on Sunday.
"Love you @sallydynevor, @brookelevincent @hattiedynevorr," the two-time I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star captioned the picture of herself reuniting with Sophie Webster actress Brooke, Sally and Hattie. Clearly a proud real-life and fictional mother, Sally also shared photos on her own Instagram, writing: "Had the most wonderful day with inspiring women".
Sally, who is also mum to Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor, was seemingly enjoying a exercise session hosted by stationary brand Oh So B and Sculpt Active Wear. "Sunday well spent," Sally went on to write. "We've got something super exciting happening tomorrow! We can't wait to take you along."
The Sally Metcalfe actress' wholesome weekend follows the soap legend sharing her pride over her daughter Phoebe Dynevor's recent BAFTA nomination. Phoebe, best known for her role in Netflix's Bridgerton, was nominated for the BAFTA Rising Star Award for her part in the film Fair Play. She was up against stars such as Saltburn's Jacob Elordi, Ayo Edebiri, Mia McKenna-Bruce and Sophie Wilde.
Corrie's Sue Cleaver says I'm A Celebrity stint helped her to push boundariesUnlike other BAFTA gongs, the Rising Star award is voted for by the public, and Sally was doing her bit to help drum up some votes for her daughter. Encouraging fans to vote for 28-year-old Phoebe, Sally wrote on Instagram last week: "So proud of you @phoebedynevor. Please go and vote here!" Another pictured shared by proud Sally showed Phoebe posing in front of a huge BAFTA award at a special ceremony to announce this year's nominations.
Phoebe herself shared her joy about her nomination on Instagram, stating she was "thrilled to finally share this news" and adding: "Thank you @bafta." Speaking to Sky News, she admitted the award nomination "means the world" and confessed: "With social media, there's a very curated kind of idea of what it means to be an actress. And actually, it's a lot of rejection and a lot of getting back on the horse. Days like today make it feel really worth it."
She then opened up about how she "practically begged" Fair Play director Chloe Domont for her role saying, "I read the script and it was a female director, it's a female story and it's the kind of role that I dreamed about doing when I was a kid. So to be recognised for this film in particular is very gratifying."
Phoebe and her mum Sally aren't the only ones in the Dynevor family with acting chops. Youngest daughter Hattie recently joined the cast of BBC's Waterloo Road, a show that kick-started Phoebe's career 15 years ago. The 20-year-old is also signed to two modelling agencies. Sally's husband Tim, who she married in 1995, started as an actor before becoming a script writer for soaps like Emmerdale and the 2021 miniseries The Drowning. Sally and Tim are also parents to 26-year-old son Samuel, who isn't involved in the industry.
