They refused to believe she was 50 given her youthful looks but now Sally has confirmed her ageless secrets.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun’s TV Mag, she said: “Oh, it's no secret - I have fillers, I have Botox, facials…. I do all of it.,
“I’m really open about it. I don't think there's anything worse than someone promoting a cream saying: ‘Buy this mega-bucks cream and your face will be as smooth as mine.’
“I’m like: ‘Yeah, whatever.’ So there's no cream - well, there is, but there are other things on top.
“I'm still marking my 50th. I've never really done birthday celebrations and I didn't want a big party because I'm not that kind of person.
“So I did lots of little things, and I'm still doing lots of little things. It's been lovely. I just feel like 50 is just going to get better and better and better.
“At 40, I had a massive crisis. I didn't like that at all. But turning 50 has really changed my mindset. I'm just thinking: ‘I'm just going to hold things lightly.’
“If someone says something that's upsetting, I'm going to choose not to be upset. I'm just letting it wash over me and focus on what actually matters, you know, and that's the people around you, and those kinds of things. So far, so good.”
Sally’s character Abi is currently going through a crisis of her own, having her head turned by brother-in-law Carl Webster with the pair set to have a passionate affair.
“Your readers will say: ‘Stay with Kevin!’” smiles Sally, who was previously best known for playing Kelly Maguire in comedy-drama Shameless.

“He’s given her a life and took a chance on her, so it’s no wonder everyone's like: ‘Don't you dare cheat on Kevin!’
“I mean, I feel the same! Abi loves Kevin, but Carl has awakened her feelings. She's been desperately trying to fight it because she knows what she's got to lose.
“In real life, Abi wouldn’t be a friend of mine. I do like her, I think she's got great qualities - she’s got a huge heart - but she's also a handful.
“And because she's emotionally immature, she gets very defensive, very upset, very hurt. I wouldn't want that in my life.”
Sally has also confirmed that she wants to stay on the cobbles for as long as bosses will have her.

“I see Corrie in my future and I’m hoping they [the show’s producers] do [laughs]!” she said.
“Do you know what? If it was all to end tomorrow, I would literally be going out with the biggest thank-you, because I came in for six episodes and here I am.
“So there would be nothing but absolute gratitude. But let's hope not just yet! I'm loving it and I’m just grateful for every day.”
