Last year, Sue admitted she was no longer allowed to bring George to the Corrie set with her because of his naughty behaviour!
She told the Daily Star: “He came in once. He came into the Grimshaws’ and he pooed in the Grimshaws.
“That’s what he thought of it. He’s not been back since.”
She also gushed over George, adding: “He is the most spoiled dog in the world.”
Sue adopted George from the dog shelter in 2014. At the time, the actress told Manchester Evening News: “My friend has a boarding kennels, and she also takes in dogs who are about to be put down.
“Poor George was on his last days when she took him in, he was skin and bones, and had not been looked after at all.
“We went to see him, to see if we could give him a happy home at weekends on a dog fostering basis really, just to get him ready for life with a loving family. But within days it became apparent that we just couldn’t give him back and that we were the loving family he was after.”
