Sue Cleaver Teases ‘TV Husband’ Richard Arnold in Hilarious Video – Fans Can’t Get Enough!
Coronation Street legend Sue Cleaver delighted fans with a fun and lighthearted video on Instagram, where she playfully grabbed her “TV husband” while out and about on Monday. The 60-year-old actress, who is married to lighting technician Brian Owen, shared the moment with her followers, showing off her close bond with Good Morning Britain star Richard Arnold.
In the video, Sue can be heard cheerfully saying, “Yes, we’re gorgeous. The sun is shining,” as she turns the camera to reveal Richard Arnold. Teasing her friend, she adds, “Look at the state of you,” before jokingly advising him to “put a bit of makeup on before he starts [GMB] tomorrow.” Richard, always quick with a comeback, quipped, “Would it have killed you to do the same?” to which Sue replied, “Thank you, that’s enough of that.”
Sue and Richard have been close friends for many years, with Sue affectionately referring to Richard as her “TV hubby.” The caption on her Instagram post reads, “Saw my ‘gorgeous’ TV hubs last night, thank god he sorted his mug out before @gmb this morning. JOKE, obvs he’s gorgeous with or without makeup!”
Fans loved the playful exchange, with comments flooding in to praise their friendship. One fan, Iain, wrote, “Oh, you funny folk, you’re both GORGEOUS! And so wonderfully healthy looking with that tan.” Another fan, Hazel, commented, “What a perfect friendship!” while Jane and Kelly joined in the fun, saying, “You two! [cry-laughing emojis]” and “Looking great guys, and hilarious too.”
Richard has often spoken fondly of his friendship with Sue, recalling that they “hit it off straight away” when he interviewed her years ago, describing it as “a meeting of minds.” When Sue participated in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in 2022, Richard was confident in her abilities, calling her a “robust lass” and predicting she would win. Although Sue didn’t win, being the third campmate to be eliminated, their friendship has remained strong.
The duo’s close bond has been evident over the years, with Richard previously sharing a throwback photo from a holiday with Sue in 2011. He captioned the post, shared in August 2022, with humor: “Throwing it back to 2011 on holiday with my dear friend Sue Cleaver. Over a decade after I told her about social media, the Corrie legend has joined @instagram – give her a follow @officialsuecleaver – she’s very needy. If you don’t, she’ll be bending my ear on the blower all weekend.” Their lighthearted banter and genuine friendship continue to delight fans, making them a beloved duo both on and off the screen.
