Coronation Street actress issues apology to fans as she makes ‘sad’ announcement
Vicky Myers has had to withdraw from the An Audience with Coronation Street tour in Glasgow.
The actress, known for her role as Lisa Swain, took to social media to explain that she won’t be appearing on stage in Scotland later this month due to a conflict with her filming schedule.
In a statement posted on her Instagram Story on Thursday (11 September), Vicky expressed: “I’m so, so, sorry to miss the Glasgow show for An Audience with Coronation Street on 24th September.
“Due to unavoidable last-minute schedule changes, I won’t be able to be there. Every possible scheduling option was explored, however it was just not possible I’m afraid. This was completely out of my control.

“In my place I am delighted that the legend and utterly gorgeous ‘Sunshine Sue Devaney’ will be joining the line-up instead – she is going to be amazing – she IS amazing!”, reports the Liverpool Echo.
“I know It’ll be an incredible evening celebrating 65 years of Corrie magic. I’ll be there in spirit. Sorry, Vicky.”
The official Coronation Street Instagram page confirmed the news with a statement: “As we head towards the exciting An Audience With Coronation Street tour, we are sharing the news that due to unavoidable and complicated change in her filming schedule, Vicky is no longer able to join the Glasgow show on September 24th.
The actress penned a heartfelt message to fans
“Sue Devaney will now step on stage in her place. Vicky is very sad that she’s unable to be there.
“Please note it’s important to understand that she had no prior knowledge or influence on her schedule.”
Vicky made her debut as DS Swain in 2021 and became a regular character by 2024. She’s currently at the heart of a major storyline which recently saw her ex, Becky Swain (played by My Cudden), make a shocking return from the dead, leaving Lisa’s partner Carla Connor (Alison King) utterly stunned.

Earlier this year, it was announced that iconic Corrie stars would be swapping the famous cobbles for the stage for an unprecedented evening of entertainment.
An Audience with Coronation Street is set to kick off this weekend, with its first stop in London before moving onto Sheffield and Salford.
The event, hosted by This Morning’s resident soap expert Sharon Marshall, promises to be a night filled with laughter, nostalgia, and more than a few surprises that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
