Coronation Street's Dolly-Rose Campbell has opened up about her bisexuality and paid credit to Manchester Pride for helping her to accept it.
The 31-year-old spoke to The Daily Star about how she now hopes to give assistance to others who are struggling with their sexuality.
The actor, who plays Gemma Winter on the ITV soap, also revealed that she would like to become an ambassador for gay pride.
She said, ''I have been coming to pride for over a decade now. The love and acceptance shown by the people of Manchester allowed me to accept my bisexuality and be proud of who I am."
She continued, ''The work that Manchester Pride does throughout the year to engage with and create opportunities for people in Manchester’s LGBTQ+ community and beyond makes a huge difference to so many people’s lives."
Dolly has been part of the Corrie cast for four years now and loves being part of such an iconic soap.
She said, ''I have always been a massive fan of Coronation Street. I’d had an audition before the tour and I wasn’t expecting anything, but then just a couple of days later I got the call saying I had got the part."
Gemma took home the gong for Best Comedy Performance at the British Soap Awards in 2018.
We think that it's fantastic that she has been so honest about her own struggles and wants to help others to embrace their sexuality.
