Coronation Street Star Calum Lill’s Unexpected Road to Success and Proposal Surprise
Calum Lill, known for his role as Joel Deering in the popular soap opera Coronation Street, recently shocked his loyal viewers by portraying a dark and sinister character involved in a high-profile whodunnit storyline.
The unexpected turn of events in Calum’s on-screen character has garnered attention not just from fans but also from his grandmother Sue, whose genuine reaction to her grandson’s fictional misdeeds went viral on social media.
Despite his newfound on-screen persona, Calum’s real-life journey to success and engagement to his long-time partner Roberta McClarron has been nothing short of a remarkable story filled with dedication and hard work.
Hailing from Manchester, Calum credits his loving grandmother Sue for his acting career, as she selflessly supported and funded his acting classes from a young age.
From portraying villains in shows like Doctors, Holby City, and Hollyoaks, to his latest dark role in Coronation Street, Calum’s acting versatility has captured audiences’ attention while charming his real-life partner, Roberta McClarron, whom he recently proposed to after a seven-month planning ordeal.
Despite his success, Calum humorously acknowledges that his affinity for portraying villains on screen might be due to having what he calls a ‘dodgy face,’ as he yearns for a role that his grandmother Sue would wholeheartedly approve of.
Embracing his turbulent journey from humble beginnings in Manchester to portraying the complex character of Joel Deering on Coronation Street, Calum’s dedication to his craft shines through as he navigates both his on-screen challenges and personal life milestones.
