Sally Carman has shared some exciting career news with her fans, revealing she's set take on a new project later this year away from her role in Coronation Street.
The 42 year old, who portrays Abi Webster in the hit ITV soap, took to Instagram on Thursday to announce her latest career move, which will see her become the one behind the camera.
Sally will be directing a piece for JB Shorts – a two-week theatrical event featuring several short plays – in October at 53Two in Manchester.
The soap star said she was "very happy" about her new role and was instantly met with support from her Corrie co-stars on social media.
She shared two posters for the event, along with the caption: "Very happy to be directing @lindsaywilliams8900 piece for the mighty @jbshortsplays this October at @53two. It runs from the 3rd to the 14th – be good to see you."
Anthony Crank, who plays Dean Turnball in Corrie, wrote: "I'll deffo come support youse xxx," while Georgia Taylor, known for portraying Toyah Battersby, said: "Love this! I'll definitely be there".
"Ooh marvellous!" another person added, while a fourth follower commented: "Fantastic! Congratulations! Will try to make it if I can. Need to go to the theatre more."
Sally joined the cast of Coronation Street in 2017 and has remained on the ITV soap ever since, having tackled several hard-hitting storylines over the years.
Prior to taking on the role of Abi, Sally was best known for starring in Shameless as Kelly Maguire. She's also appeared in Doctors, Holby City, Heartbeat and Silent Witness.
Acting and directing aren't her only talents either, as she's also qualified Reiki practitioner, having trained at the Oldham Reiki Network after her time at Shameless.
Sally didn't only find soap stardom at Coronation Street, as she also met her now-husband Joe Duttine, who portrays Tim Metcalfe in the ITV soap.
The loved-up couple met on the Corrie set and began dating in August 2018, before then moving in together in November 2019.
In March 2020, Sally and Joe, 53, announced their engagement after Joe popped the question while they were enjoying a walk in lockdown. In July 2022, the pair tied the knot in a stunning ceremony at St Philip's Church in Salford.
