CORRIE favourite Bev Callard is broke after being hit with a tax bill of £60,000.

The 55-year-old actress — who quit as Street barmaid Liz McDonald 13 months ago — has been served with a bankruptcy order.

And she could be forced to sell her home in Salford — close to Manchester’s Granada TV studios, where Corrie is filmed — to pay her debts.

Last night mum-of-two Bev admitted she was in dire straits. A close pal said: “She’s no option but to go bankrupt if the tax office refuse to budge.”

Bev has been summoned to Official Receivers’ offices in Manchester — under her married name Beverley McEwan — to discuss the crisis.

Ill health left her unable to work for months after leaving the Street.

She has now signed up for a new series of Manchester-based BBC comedy In With the Flynns. Then she will join the first touring production of comedy drama Little Voice.

But the pal said: “It will take a while for her to get back on her feet financially and catch up from where she was.” It is not the first time four-times wed Bev has had financial problems.

Twelve years ago she and ex-hubby Steve Callard were chased by the taxman for £26,000.

Then in 2008 she was forced to sell her six-bed house when her pub business went bust with debts of £218,000.

Bev blamed the credit crunch and smoking ban.

Last night her spokesman declined to comment.

Sounds like she consistently makes bad investments, I feel sorry for her a little, but it kind of sounds like it's her own fault.

I guess that's the world of show business, once the funds start rolling in,you believe they will never stop but should problems arise and the lid gets lifted off the drain it all disappears.

She had these problems looming when she left the Street, it seems nothing she has been able to do since has come anywhere near helping to stem the losses.
I do feel sorry for her though,although in saying that, she has in her life had great opportunities and chances most can only dream of having.
