Coronation Street actress, Sue Cleaver (AKA Eileen Grimshaw) has revelaed that she will be glad when the newborn babies playing her grandaughter Holly, leave the set.

She revealed to The Sun:

She told us: “We’ve had four babies all aged about eight months-old playing Holly and it’s been really hard work filming with them even though they were all gorgeous.
