'What does love feel like? I can't remember'
Sue Johnston, 69, grew up on Merseyside and had various jobs before training as an actor. Between 1982 and 1990, she played Sheila Grant in the TV soap Brookside. More recently, she has starred in BBC1's Waking The Dead and The Royle Family. Her films include Brassed Off. Johnston's new comedy, Lapland, begins on 1 February on BBC1.
When were you happiest?
At the birth of my son, Joel, and then equally, last June, when my first grandchild, Rory, was born.
What is your earliest memory?
When I was two and on holiday with my parents at Butlins in Filey. Two girls were playing with me one day and swinging me round by my arms. One came out of the socket and I had to go to hospital to have it put back in.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
Wetting my knickers in junior school laughing at a joke.
