During an Instagram Q&A, the 16-year-old actress – who played Summer Spellman – was asked about her sexuality to which she responded: “I am bisexual.” Matilda went on to thank her fans for the support, stating: “Can I just say – thank you for all the love and support I’ve received after making my sexuality aware on my socials.” She continued: “I really wasn’t expecting it and it means the absolute world, you guys are amazing.
I love you all.” Matilda isn’t the only Coronation Street star who has come out as part of the LGBTQ+ community. Earlier this year Kimberly Hart-Simpson revealed that she was pansexual during an appearance on Celebs Go Dating.
