Why you may never see Sarah Lancashire on TV again: She overcame depression and suicidal thoughts while starring in Coronation Street to reach Hollywood stardom. But, KATIE HIND reveals, the Baftas will be her swansong


As Sarah Lancashire is nominated for a best actress Bafta for her star turn in Happy Valley, KATIE HIND on why the ceremony is to be her swansong before stepping behind the camera.

When Sarah Lancashire finished playing Britain’s favourite fictional heroine Sergeant Catherine Cawood after three acclaimed series of Happy Valley, she made a decision. While up against stiff competition – Anjana Vasan for Black Mirror, Anne Reid in The Sixth Commandment, Bella Ramsey for The Last Of Us, Helena Bonham Carter for Nolly and Sharon Horgan for her role in Best Interests – she is already tipped to win. She lives in a £3million, five-bedroom house on a quiet road in the South-West London enclave of Twickenham with her husband Peter Salmon, the former controller of BBC1, who famously refused to move to the BBC’s Salford HQ despite being the head of the Corporation’s North division.
