Sherrie Hewson was born in Nottingham in 1950. The daughter of a model and singer, Sherrie was destined to entertain and got her big break when she joined the Carry On team to star in Carry On Behind aged 25. From there Sherrie went on to become a household name when she was cast as the much-loved Maureen Holdsworth on Coronation Street. Since then, Sherrie has starred in numerous productions on the screen and stage, but she's really become the nation's darling since joining the panel of Loose Women eight years ago. Loved for her warmth and great sense of humour, Sherrie has become a friend and confidante to the millions who tune in to watch her every day.
