Coronation Street icon Sally Dynevor looked fabulous as she posed up a storm with her lookalike daughter for an important campaign. The 61-year-old, who is best known for playing the legendary Sally Metcalfe in the ITV soap, headed over to Instagram to share a rare snap of herself with her daughter Harriet, as they supported the charity, Prevent Breast Cancer. Wearing matching black T-shirts which included hand-drawn pictures of different types of breasts, Sally and Harriet beamed with pride.

The Corrie star wrote: "Check your breasts! This fabulous t-shirt is from a charity very close to my heart - @preventbreastcancer. It features hand-drawn sketches by women who have been affected by breast cancer, and each purchase helps fund their vital research into breast cancer prevention."

The fan favourite also shared a link to where the top can be purchased. After seeing her wholesome display, fans headed straight to the comment section to share their thoughts.

One social media user wrote: "Gorgeous! Ordering mine - such a great cause." Another penned: "What a great T-shirt! And you both look fab in them."

A third shared: "Beautiful photos mother and daughter for the same fight. Thank you for supporting this cause for all women in the world."

Sally, who has been a part of Corrie since 1986, has had her own personal battle with breast cancer. At the same time while going through her private health woes in 2009, her on screen character Sally was also diagnosed with the condition.

Talking on BBC Breakfast last year, the actress said: "There was a particular day in 2009, I was reading the scripts, and I suddenly had a gap. And I thought I’m just going to go and see our nurse and see what she thinks, because I felt something very, very tiny.

"When (the doctor) told me 'You have breast cancer,' I fainted. Then I said 'I think you’re getting me mixed up with my character.'"

The star went on to share how shocked she was when she received the devastating news. She added: "When I got breast cancer, I was 46. And I thought that you didn’t get breast cancer at 46, it was for an older person.

"But yesterday I met a young girl who was 22 when she got diagnosed. So this is really important."

"You never think that’s going to happen to you. When somebody tells you that news, and it comes really out of the blue, it’s really shocking."

The Real Life Story That Mirrors The Soap

Sally Dynevor, the star known for her long-running character, recently faced a reality that mirrored her on-screen life in a way she never expected. "I don't think I could have done those scenes if I'd known I had breast cancer," she confessed.

As she received the sobering diagnosis from her doctor, her initial response was one of disbelief: "When [the doctor] told me, 'You have breast cancer', I fainted. Then I said, 'I think you're getting me mixed up with my character'. It was just unbelievable."

A Mother-Daughter Message

In a touching social media post, the 61-year-old actress and her daughter Hattie were seen promoting breast cancer awareness while sporting special T-shirts. Sally shared her personal connection to the initiative, stating: "Check your breasts."

She explained, "This fabulous t-shirt is from a charity very close to my heart - @preventbreastcancer. It features hand-drawn sketches by women who have been affected by breast cancer, and each purchase helps fund their vital research into breast cancer prevention. You can purchase the T-shirt here."

Support for Sally's cause came swiftly. @craftwithcompany responded with enthusiasm: "Gorgeous! Ordering mine - such a great cause."

@nikkibarraclough1 expressed admiration, saying: "Looking gorgeous thanks @sallydynevor and @hattiedynevorr." And @lo.ha3 joined in with praise, adding: "What a great T shirt ! And you both look fab in them."

Sharing the Message

The actress, famed for playing Sally Metcalfe - nee Webster - in the ITV soap, took to Instagram with a snap of herself and her Waterloo Road star daughter Hattie. In the picture, the two beauties posed for the camera but attention was soon drawn to the T-shirts they were wearing. The black tees were covered in drawings of breasts as Sally continued her support for the Prevent Breast Cancer charity, for which she is a patron.

The cause is extremely close to the soap star's heart as she received a breast cancer diagnosis herself in 2009, at the same time that her on-screen character was battling the disease. She recalled last year how she thought her doctor was confusing her with her character when she was given the news, having earlier that day filmed the scene where she shared her diagnosis with her on-screen husband.

Sally, who has been a stalwart on the cobble since 1986, recalled how she only checked herself for a lump after working on the soap storyline. "There was a particular day in 2009, I was reading the scripts," she told BBC Breakfast last October. "And I thought I'm just going to go and see our nurse and see what she thinks, because I felt something very, very tiny."

Shortly after filming the scenes, Sally was informed that her real life was mirroring that of her character's. "I don't think I could have done those scenes if I'd known I had breast cancer," she said. "When [the doctor] told me, 'You have breast cancer', I fainted. Then I said, 'I think you're getting me mixed up with my character'. It was just unbelievable."

Back to Sally's post and the 61-year-old alongside Hattie could be seen posing in the poignant charity tees, alongside which Sally shared: "Check your breasts."

She continued: "This fabulous t-shirt is from a charity very close to my heart - @preventbreastcancer. It features hand-drawn sketches by women who have been affected by breast cancer, and each purchase helps fund their vital research into breast cancer prevention. You can purchase the T-shirt here."

And the idea was quickly supported. @craftwithcompany said: "Gorgeous! Ordering mine - such a great cause." @nikkibarraclough1 commented: "Looking gorgeous thanks @sallydynevor and @hattiedynevorr." @lo.ha3 added: "What a great T shirt ! And you both look fab in them."

A Powerful Message

Coronation Street's beloved Sally Dynevor has dazzled fans with a stunning photo alongside her doppelganger daughter, all in the name of a noble cause. The 61 year old soap veteran, famed for her role as the iconic Sally Metcalfe on ITV's Coronation Street, took to Instagram to post an endearing picture with her daughter Harriet. The duo were promoting the charity Prevent Breast Cancer, donning chic black T-shirts adorned with unique hand-drawn illustrations of breasts.

The pair exuded joy and pride in their matching attire. Sally captioned the post: "Check your breasts! This fabulous t-shirt is from a charity very close to my heart - @preventbreastcancer. It features hand-drawn sketches by women who have been affected by breast cancer, and each purchase helps fund their vital research into breast cancer prevention."

The Corrie legend also provided a link for her followers to buy the meaningful top. Fans were quick to express their admiration in the comments section, praising both the cause and the mother-daughter duo's radiant appearance.

One follower commented: "Gorgeous! Ordering mine - such a great cause."

Another added: "What a great T-shirt! And you both look fab in them."

A third admirer expressed: "Beautiful photos mother and daughter for the same fight. Thank you for supporting this cause for all women in the world."

Sally, an integral part of Coronation Street since 1986, faced her own harrowing encounter with breast cancer. During this tumultuous period in 2009, her on-screen persona Sally was similarly afflicted by the disease.

Recounting her experience on BBC Breakfast, the actress shared: "There was a particular day in 2009, I was reading the scripts, and I suddenly had a gap. And I thought I'm just going to go and see our nurse and see what she thinks, because I felt something very, very tiny."

She continued, revealing the moment of her diagnosis: "When (the doctor) told me 'You have breast cancer,' I fainted. Then I said 'I think you're getting me mixed up with my character.'"

The beloved star expressed her astonishment at the diagnosis during her interview: "When I got breast cancer, I was 46. And I thought that you didn't get breast cancer at 46, it was for an older person."

"But yesterday I met a young girl who was 22 when she got diagnosed. So this is really important."

Concluding her heartfelt revelation, she added, "You never think that's going to happen to you. When somebody tells you that news, and it comes really out of the blue, it's really shocking."

A Powerful Duo

Coronation Street's very own Sally Dynevor shone brightly as she teamed up with her doppelganger daughter in support of a truly worthy cause. The actress, 61, famed for her role as the beloved Sally Metcalfe on the cobbles, took to Instagram to delight fans with a rare glimpse of her and her daughter Harriet.

Sally and her daughter joined forces to champion the Prevent Breast Cancer charity. The pair both donned chic black t-shirts adorned with unique hand-drawn breasts in a show of solidarity. The soap legend captioned the post: "Check your breasts! This fabulous t-shirt is from a charity very close to my heart - @preventbreastcancer. It features hand-drawn sketches by women who have been affected by breast cancer, and each purchase helps fund their vital research into breast cancer prevention."

She even dropped a hint on where her admirers could snag the meaningful top. The post was met with much affection as followers flocked to the comments section to express their love.

One user exclaimed: "Gorgeous! Ordering mine - such a great cause." A second fan gushed: "What a great T-shirt! And you both look fab in them." Another follower praised the move, writing: "Beautiful photos mother and daughter for the same fight. Thank you for supporting this cause for all women in the world."

Sally, a Corrie veteran since 1986, fought her own private battle with breast cancer after being diagnosed at the age of 46. In a startling coincidence in 2009, while she was dealing with her health crisis off-screen, her character Sally Metcalfe was also facing a breast cancer storyline.

During a chat on BBC Breakfast last year, the actress disclosed: "There was a particular day in 2009, I was reading the scripts, and I suddenly had a gap. And I thought I'm just going to go and see our nurse and see what she thinks, because I felt something very, very tiny."

She recounted the moment of diagnosis: "When (the doctor) told me 'You have breast cancer,' I fainted. Then I said 'I think you're getting me mixed up with my character.'"

The actress expressed her astonishment at the diagnosis and said: "When I got breast cancer, I was 46. And I thought that you didn't get breast cancer at 46, it was for an older person.

"But yesterday I met a young girl who was 22 when she got diagnosed. So this is really important." She reflected on the shock of receiving such unexpected news: "You never think that's going to happen to you. When somebody tells you that news, and it comes really out of the blue, it's really shocking."

A Message of Hope

Coronation Street's beloved Sally Dynevor exuded glamour as she struck a pose alongside her doppelganger daughter in aid of a meaningful initiative. A Weatherfield icon, recognised far and wide for her role as the illustrious Sally Metcalfe on the small screen, took to Instagram, delighting fans with a rare glimpse of her bonding with daughter Harriet.

Both showed their backing for Prevent Breast Cancer, sporting chic black tees boasting hand-drawn designs of diverse breast types, their smiles conveying a powerful message of solidarity. "Check your breasts! This fabulous t-shirt is from a charity very close to my heart - @preventbreastcancer. It features hand-drawn sketches by women who have been affected by breast cancer, and each purchase helps fund their vital research into breast cancer prevention."

the soap veteran urged, drawing attention to the significance of the stylish t-shirts born from a charity dear to her heart, [@preventbreastcancer]. The creations were envisaged by women touched by breast cancer, and each sale propels the crucial research into thwarting the disease.

Accompanying her motivational words was a handy link directing supporters to where they could snag one of these meaningful garments. Fans, moved by Sally and Harriet's touching dedication, flocked to the comments to express their support.

Admirers were quick to react, with one fan commenting: "Gorgeous! Ordering mine - such a great cause." Another follower chimed in: "What a great T-shirt! And you both look fab in them."

A third added their voice of appreciation, stating: "Beautiful photos mother and daughter for the same fight. Thank you for supporting this cause for all women in the world."

Sally, a familiar face on Corrie since 1986, tackled her own fight against breast cancer head-on. Compounded by the fact that, during her private battles in 2009, her alter ego on the show was also dealing with a similar diagnosis.

Opening up about the poignant moment she realised something wasn't right, on a BBC Breakfast interview last year, the actress recalled: "There was a particular day in 2009, I was reading the scripts, and I suddenly had a gap. And I thought I'm just going to go and see our nurse and see what she thinks, because I felt something very, very tiny."

Recounting the intense moment of her diagnosis, she said: "When (the doctor) told me 'You have breast cancer,' I fainted. Then I said 'I think you're getting me mixed up with my character.'"

Clearly still impacted, the actress related how the news stunned her: "When I got breast cancer, I was 46. And I thought that you didn't get breast cancer at 46, it was for an older person. But yesterday I met a young girl who was 22 when she got diagnosed. So this is really important."

She continued with a heartfelt admission: "You never think that's going to happen to you. When somebody tells you that news, and it comes really out of the blue, it's really shocking."
