Coronation Street star Claire Sweeney has been flooded with messages as she shared a ‘gorgeous’ update on social media alongside her son.
The actress took to Instagram with a video full of photos of her and Jaxon’s recent trip as they took a weekend away together. The mother and son made the most of the sunshine as they jumped in the car and headed to Southend in Essex.
Captioning the post, Claire wrote in view of her followers: “Loved this weekend away with my boy. We jumped in the car and drove to Southend. The weather was amazing and we had the best time together @roslinbeachhotel.”
The soap star, who is currently best known for playing Cassie Plummer in ITV’s Corrie, added: “It was gorgeous and reminded me of shutters hotel on the beach in LA. thanks for@looking after us @jacquidallimore.”
Her followers were then quick to respond. Emmerdale star Michelle Hardwick said: “Gorgeous.” This Morning star Vanessa Feltz also commented: “Adore Southend. Have loved it since I was a tiny child. How lovely.”

It comes after Claire shared her adoration for one of her colleagues on the Cobbles as she revealed their past stretches way back to her days on Brookside. The 53-year-old landed her first major role as Lindsey Corkhill in the former Channel 4 soap back in the nineties.
She initially appeared as a recurring character from 1991 and then as a leading character from 1995 until the programme came to an end in 2003. From then on her career went from strength to strength with a few more TV appearances under her belt, both as an actress and as a presenter, while also carving out a successful theatre career starring in the likes of Guys and Dolls, Legally Blonde, Educating Rita and numerous pantomimes.
Claire has since found herself in Weatherfield, a role which she has previously hailed as a dream come true. But it’s not until now, almost two years since she joined the show, that she has recalled her former working relationship with Corrie favourite Alison King.
After a fan shared a video of them in scenes together in the Liverpool-based drama, Claire shared it to her own Instagram account and said: “Love this @officialalisonking at the beginning of our careers on Brookside, and now working together @coronationstreet 30 years later. You are a fabulous woman, loyal, kind and talented. I adore you. Thank you for this clip @pratkins.”
