Coronation Street actress Julia Haworth has admitted the novelty of walking into the Rovers Return hasn't worn off even after six years on the soap. The actress - who plays Claire Peacock - also said she feels grateful to still be a part of the show. "It was very strange walking down the cobbles, but very quickly you don't take it for granted - I still walk into the Rovers and smile even to this day," she said. "It does become your second home really. You walk down the street as if it's a real street. "When you have the privilege to take people round - such as people that have bidded in charity auctions for it there's a real feeling of pride when you take people round and you can explain to them why the street's so small." And the 29-year-old also said she still had fond memories of her very first day on the set. "There was real excitement and I was made to feel so welcome by cast and crew alike," she explained. "I was 23 when I started, and I'd been watching it on the television for 20 odd years. "It's a brilliant place to work, and I think if you asked anyone here they'd say exactly the same."
