Coronation Street's Jane Danson reveals crippling fear which left her too terrified to leave her house after she first rose to fame on the soap


Jane Danson was left too frightened to leave her home after rising to fame on Coronation Street.

Jane explained to the Mirror: 'The Street was in a very different place back then, with a small cast and long-established characters, then this rough family came in behaving terribly and everyone hated them. 'One day I was out at my local shops when an old woman hit me with her handbag and told me to "turn that bloody music down" because Leanne had been shaking the cobbles with her big boom box!' While she has been at the centre of numerous hard-hitting storylines, including her daughter Sarah's (Tina O'Brien) teenage pregnancy, and the death of her fourth debt-ridden husband Joe McIntyre (Reece Dinsdale) during a failed life insurance scheme.
