She explained she learned about her diagnosis just minutes before stepping onto the set of Irish soap Fair City. Beverley revealed she was told she needed to return to the UK only 15 to 20 minutes before filming her very first scenes as new character Lily. Despite the timing, she carried on filming, later confirming the cancer had thankfully been caught early. Speaking on the show, Beverley explained that she had undergone tests shortly before leaving the UK, but the results came through at the worst possible moment. She said: “I’d had some tests just before I left the UK and literally 15 to 20 minutes before [her first scene] I was in my dressing room at Fair City, getting ready to go on, and I was quite nervous and thinking, I hope everybody thinks I’m alright.” Read more: Coronation Street fan theory ‘works out’ Steve McDonald’s secret brother is Ben Driscoll Share Add as preferred source on Google Add as preferred source on Google Good to Know Share Add as preferred source on Google Add as preferred source on Google By Joey Crutchley 22 Feb 2026, 13:02 By Joey Crutchley 22 Feb 2026, 13:02 Next Story
