Vicky Entwistle has said she is going to quit acting
Vicky is best known for playing Janice Battersby on Corrie
She said on Twitter: “Just had a few Zoom auditions. Half of me thinks I’m lucky.. the other half thinks.. any feed back cocky b******s!!”
Speaking about more auditions she ranted: “It’s just cost me £80 in petrol. Most of the time they don’t even acknowledge you even turned up!! The respect has flown from this industry! I gonna retire!”
One fan told her: “You’re an absolutely phenomenal actress, they should be the lucky ones that you attended!! Please don’t retire xx.”
The star – who lives in rural Lancashire and has a holiday cottage business – left Weatherfield in 2011 after 14 years in the soap as gobby Janice – wife of layabout Les and mum of Toyah and Leanne.
After leaving the role she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and in Holby City and Ackley Bridge.
And she also carved out a lucrative career appearing in money-spinning panto runs at Christmas.
She recently revealed she no longer watches Corrie– and fans agree with her.
But the icon said she’d start tuning in again now that soap eco-warrior Geoffrey David Nugent – aka Spider – has re-joined Corrie.
And Vicky sparked a debate among fans who tune in to watch classic Corrie episodes rather than the soap’s latest offerings.
The star–said on Twitter of the character’s return: “This may just be the best news I have heard in the last 10 years!! Bring the Talent back!!! Might start watching now!!”
Fan Peter said: “Brilliant. Classic Corrie from 70s, 80s, 90s and early 00s was superb.
“Much missed. Needs to get back to being character driven with stories people care about that reflect normal working class lives rather than all this sensationalist stuff.”
