Coronation Street star Natalie Amber reveals her disability has 'changed her for the better' after appearing in the soap's emotional Motor Neurone Disease storyline


Coronation Street star Natalie Amber revealed her disability has changed her for the better as she continues to support Rob Burrows' charity.

The actress, 45, joined the ITV soap as Motor Neurone Disease sufferer Shelly Rossington last year, but her time on the cobbles was short-lived as her pal Paul Foreman (Peter Ash), who was also diagnosed with the same condition, was informed of her death. Alongside acting Natalie works as access lead for the BAFTA award-winning TripleC organisation, which strives to create more opportunities for disabled, deaf and neurodivergent performers. Natalie has campaigned to raise funds for the Rob Burrow centre, after the rugby star's death last month, five years he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (he is pictured in 2022)
