Coronation Street<\/a> fans have been left floored after learning the real age of Abi Webster actress Sally Carman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Abi made her debut on the long-running ITV<\/a> soap back in 2017 – and it\u2019s fair to say she has quickly become a firm favourite with fans. The character has also played a part in several big storylines<\/a> during her stint on the soap.<\/p>\n

From her drug addiction, the tragic death of her son Seb<\/a> (Harry Visinoni), and, more recently, her affair with Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) behind her husband Kevin’s (Michael Le Vell) back, her time in Weatherfield has not been short of drama.<\/p>\n

Away from the cobbles though, on Saturday (May 9) Abi actress Sally celebrated her birthday – and fans couldn\u2019t believe her real age.<\/p>\n

\"Corrie\"<\/p>\n

Sally has played Abi for several years<\/p>\n

On a Coronation Street<\/a> Facebook<\/a> fan page, one person paid a sweet tribute to Sally and said: \u201cSally Carman is 51 today. Happy Birthday Sally.\u201d And rushing to the comments section, fans were left gobsmacked by her age.<\/p>\n

One person wrote: \u201c51?! She looks in her 40s!\u201d Another added: \u201cShe doesn\u2019t look a day over 30.\u201d A third chimed in: \u201cI\u2019d have guessed she was in her 40s.\u201d Someone else wrote: \u201cShe doesn’t look that age! Gorgeous lady.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, Sally revealed the secrets behind her remarkably youthful looks. In an interview with The Sun, Sally confessed: “Oh, it’s no secret – I have fillers, I have Botox, facials…. I do all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sally continued: “I’m really open about it. I don’t think there’s anything worse than someone promoting a cream saying: ‘Buy this mega-bucks cream and your face will be as smooth as mine.’ I’m like: ‘Yeah, whatever.’ So there’s no cream – well, there is, but there are other things on top.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile earlier this year, Sally confirmed that fans will be seeing her playing Abi until at least 2027 as she signed another year-long contract. Speaking exclusively to Radio Times<\/a> at the TV Choice Awards<\/a>, she confirmed: “Just signed for another year, which is great. My goodness, I love it. It\u2019s my favourite job I\u2019ve ever done.”<\/p>\n

\"Corrie\"<\/p>\n

Fans were left stunned by her real age <\/p>\n

The soap star also shared that she would be honoured to follow in the footsteps and have the same screen longevity as Corrie royalty Sally Dynevor<\/a>, who recently marked the milestone of playing Sally Metcalfe for 40 years. “If they\u2019ll have me, yeah!” Sally joked.<\/p>\n

In addition to her success on Coronation Street, Sally has also found love on the show. She met her co-star Joe Duttine, who plays Tim Metcalfe, on set in 2017, and the couple got engaged in 2020 before tying the knot two years later.<\/p>\n

Discussing their unique engagement tale on Kate Thornton’s podcast, White Wine Question Time, Sally shared: “It was while we were in lockdown and we were staying in the Dales with his sister, who has a lot of space, with, his kids” she said.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cWe were walking around this big field on this walk and he went: ‘Kids, have a look in between the dry stone walling because you know, they used to put coins and precious things to hide them in the walls.”<\/p>\n

Sally continued: “So I’m having a look and there’s this box. And I opened it. I’m like: ‘No way.’ And then there was another box inside. And I turned around and he was on one knee.”<\/p>\n
