CORONATION Street star Sue Cleaver was rushed to hospital yesterday morning after collapsing on set.
The 46-year-old actress suffered an attack relating to her diabetes.
She caused panic among her fellow actors when she fell ill just before she began filming scenes as knicker-stitcher Eileen Grimshaw at the Manchester studios.
Medics, who were alerted by stars and crew members, sent her to hospital for further checks.
An set insider said: "Sue was looking pretty off at around 9am just as we were getting things ready for filming. Then all of a sudden she just seemed to collapse and everyone was panicking.
"The on-site medics were called and they were very quick to get to her. She informed them that she was having some kind of attack brought on by her diabetes and they agreed that that's what it looked like.
"An ambulance was called and she was taken to hospital just to be on the safe side."
Her scenes were scrapped as the ITV1 soap's producers were forced to rejig the filming schedule.
Earlier this month TV Biz told how Chris Gascoyne, 43, who plays Peter Barlow, also halted production after turning up ill and being sent home. He was off for a week.
Please get well soon Sue. You are one of my favourites in Corrie
