Coronation Street fans were gobsmacked to discover the real age of actress Jane Hazlegrove.
Jane burst onto the scene in 2019 as Bernie Winter, the long-lost mother of Gemma (played by Dolly-Rose Campbell) and Paul (portrayed by Peter Ash), quickly becoming a hit with viewers.
Bernie has been at the centre of some major plots, including the poignant storyline in 2023 where Paul was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND), leading to his tragic death in September 2024 with Bernie at his side.

Before joining the cobbles, Jane graced our screens in Silent Witness, The Bill, Doctors, and notably as Kathleen ‘Dixie’ Dixon on BBC’s Casualty from 2006 to 2016, reports Leicestershire Live.
However, it’s her recent birthday that has left fans astounded. Celebrating her 57th birthday on the 17th of July, a fan posted on a Corrie Facebook group: “Happy 57th birthday wishes to Jane have a fantastic day.”

The revelation sparked a flurry of compliments from fans, all agreeing that Jane looks absolutely fabulous for her age. Someone else exclaimed: “No way she doesn’t look it .”
A third surprised fan added: “I thought the same!” In agreement, another commented: “An amazing actress, she looks good for her age doesn’t she?”.
When she’s not gracing the soap world, Jane is blissfully in love with her devoted soap star wife Isobel Middleton. The couple exchanged vows in 2015 and have shared over 28 years together.

Isobel, an accomplished actress herself, is no stranger to the small screen. She has portrayed three different characters on Emmerdale throughout the years. She appeared as Dr Lane in 2014, played a barrister during Simon McManus’ trial in 2018, and in 2020, she took on the role of Jean Rawson.
However, Emmerdale isn’t the only soap opera where Isobel has made her mark. She featured as Sadie Banks in BBC’s EastEnders back in 2002.
Not just confined to television, Isobel also had a role in the 2009 blockbuster Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
