CORRIE BLIMEY Corrie’s Beverley Callard furiously hits back at skinny jab rumours and tells fans ‘I’ve worked my a** off’
CORONATION Street legend Beverley Callard has clapped back at speculation she’s been using fat jabs to achieve her toned figure.
The ITV actress, 68, took to Instagram for a feisty post in which she admitted there had been “quite a few” comments made about how she’s achieved her weight loss.
Beverley, who played Corrie‘s Liz McDonald for 30 years until she quit in 2019, took to her grid post for a video which saw her showcase her fit figure in matching grey and black printed sports gear.
She let her blonde locks fall over her shoulders in natural waves and accessorised her athleisure look with hoop earrings and bangles.
Beverley posed in front of a sofa and a cabinet adorned with fairy lights for her clip, which she began with the words: “No girls I am not on skinny jabs.
“Listen I have worked out my whole life and I have been working my ass off, literally.

“Although I must say I would not knock anyone who has been on it, just do what you have got to do.”

“I’ve spent my whole life doing fitness and working my a**e off… literally!
“Each to their own when it comes to weight loss but I’m not on any weight loss jabs.
