Speaking to Prima, she said: "My 50s have been the happiest decade of my life. I’m happy with me and where I am, so I’m looking forward to seeing what the next decade brings. "Then again, if it doesn’t bring anything, I’m just going to have to make something happen myself. Since doing I’m A Celeb, my eyes have been opened to all these new experiences. Now, I’m just thinking, 'Right, what’s my next challenge?'"
The actress won widespread praise for raising awareness of diabetes during her time in the jungle, in which she wore a patch viewers speculated may have been a Dexcom, which monitors glucose levels.
Sue's condition was first reported back in 2011 when she collapsed on the set of Corrie and had to have hospital treatment.
A source told The Sun at the time: "Sue was looking pretty off at around 9am just as we were getting ready for filming. Then all of a sudden she just seemed to collapse and everyone was panicking.
"An ambulance was called and she was taken to hospital." Sue seems to have taken her health seriously after the incident and has managed to drop a whopping three stone, going from a size 14 to a 12 in 2019.
The star is said to favour the Mediterranean diet, which is high in vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, beans, cereals, grains, fish and unsaturated fats such as olive oil and usually includes a low intake of meat and dairy foods.
Discussing her weight loss, a source told Woman magazine: "Sue was always a self-confessed foodie, who admitted that over-indulgence was her Achilles Heel. Now everything's changed. "Sue's in her mid 50s so it was a no brainer that cutting down on certain things was what she had to do."
They concluded: "She's in this for the long game and wants to live a long, happy and healthy life."
