Corrie star explains her name change

'Coronation Steet' star Sally Dynevor has revealed the reasons behind her recent name change.

The 47-year-old actress, who plays Sally Webster in the soap, previously kept her maiden name of Whittaker.

However, she explained to OK magazine: "I'd kept Whittaker because everyone knew me as that but it suddenly didn't seem very important whether people knew my acting name or not.

"That was one of the first things I felt. I just wanted to be Mrs Dynevor and not Sally Whittaker. [My husband] Tim was really pleased. I just wanted to have the same name as my family."
