Coronation Street star Stephanie Davis has shared her gratitude as she showed how she's 'given back' after her own struggles. The actress, who joined the ITV soap over the summer as Courtney Vance, has been open and honest about the both mental and physical battles she's faced over the years.
Stephanie, who was previously known for playing Sinead O'Connor in Hollyoaks, previously confessed to becoming addicted to alcohol, attempting suicide and developing PTSD over previous relationship trauma. She also bravely opened up about feeling suicidal during her alcohol battle.
Previously speaking to The Mirror, Stephanie, who is now sober, said: “When I was in that bad phase, I was suicidal. I didn’t see a way out. That’s why I love what I do now, because I can show people that if I can do it, they can too. I can say, ‘This is where I was, and this is what happened, and this is where I am now.’ I can help them through their journey – it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
