We already knew he was a fan, but now John Prescott has waxed lyrical about Coronation Street's Sally Webster.
Last week, Sally was referred to as "John Prescott in heels" and the politician endorsed the message by changing his Twitter profile picture. He's now praised Sally's run for office in his Sunday Mirror column.
"It turns out Sally has ruffled a few feathers with her bid to get on Weatherfield Council. So much so that Mary said, 'She's like John Prescott in heels!' I don't know whether to be flattered or offended," he wrote.
"But I do know - from Pauline, of course - that wearing heels on cobbles is a nightmare. But, good luck to Sally. Not enough people put themselves up for election and we need more people like her in politics.
"And face it, she really would be a Northern powerhouse."
Sally Webster's run for office continues on Coronation Street, airing on ITV

With new producer Kate Oates poised to take over at Coronation Street, Sally Dynevor has a suggestion for a possible future storyline.
The Corrie veteran wants to see Sally's sister Gina back on the Cobbles for a catch-up.
She told What's on TV: "I'd love it if Gina, Sally's sister, came back to Weatherfield. She was on the Street once years ago.
"Gina's the only extended family Sally has left as both her parents passed away some years ago, I think.
"There's been no talk of it so far as I'm aware, but it would be wonderful if they cast a Gina and she turned up in Corrie after all these years. Can you help put it out there?"
Dynevor added that, although the cast is excited about Oates coming on board, there is quite a bit of fear lurking around too.
"It's a kind of mixture of hope, fear and excitement," she said.
"Everyone speaks very highly of Kate and she's a new broom for us.
"It's a new era for the Street, but there's always an element of uncertainty with a new producer because you don't know what they're going to do and which way they're going to go."

Gina Seddon is Sally's younger sister who stayed with the Websters from 1988 to 1989.
The daughter of Eddie and Elsie Seddon, 'wild child' Gina stayed at the family home after Eddie's dictatorial running of the household had driven Sally away but she argued with him a lot - according to Gina, she was the only one who would stand up to him. In March 1988, Gina had an argument with Eddie about her boyfriend Billy Wyatt, who Eddie called a yobbo as he'd been in prison. Gina called Eddie rotten names and walked out of the house. As she had a good relationship with Sally, she turned up at No.13 asking for a bed for the night. Neither Sally nor Kevin were happy to see her - she was the proverbial bad penny and they were worried that she'd never leave - but they felt trapped into letting her stay as the alternative would be her going off with Billy.
Gina and Billy didn't have jobs but through Gina Billy got a job at Tilsley's Garage, where Kevin worked. While he was at work bored Gina turned her attentions towards Martin Platt; they arranged to spend the day together at the Websters' while no one else was in but Billy called and found them together. He and Martin had a fight and made a mess. When Kevin found out, he decided Gina had outstayed her welcome and demanded that she leave. Gina returned home.
In September, Gina returned to the Websters' asking to stay as Billy was in prison; he'd been charged with stealing a car and Gina was being charged as an accessory - although she didn't tell Kevin and Sally that until later. Gina planned to deny knowing the car was stolen but Kevin persuaded her to tell the truth as she'd get a lesser sentence. At the Magistrate's Court, Gina received a £100 fine and was put on probation. Kevin and Sally agreed to let her stay at No.13 if she got a job. Gina wanted to be an air hostess but as she couldn't apply until the following January she applied for a job at Jim's Cafe, helping out Gail Tilsley on a new sandwich round. Gail took her on and she settled in despite interference from Phyllis Pearce, who thought Gail was trying to replace her with someone younger and gave her a hard time, and the fact that she had to learn how to ride a bike in order to do the job at all. The perennially work-shy Gina's determination and attitude to the job changed when she realised she could use the round to meet boys.
That would be great if it was to happen :D
The simmering war between Yasmeen Nazir and Sally Metcalfe continues to bubble away in next week’s Coronation Street.
The two women have been locked in a snobby battle for months and next week Yasmeen sees an opportunity to meddle with her rival.
Bragging to Yasmeen that she has some important friends from the council coming round for evening drinks now her summerhouse is fixed, Sally heads out shopping.
Cunning Yasmeen then suggests to Tim Metcalfe he should throw a garden party for his mates and serve up his highly acclaimed home brew.
Kevin, Dev, Freddie and Ken join Tim in the garden at No.8 for an impromptu beer party just as Sally returns home with fellow councillors Paul and Helena in tow.
How will they react to find Tim and his mates getting drunk in the garden?

Could Sally and Tim Metcalfe's marriage become the latest casualty of Pat Phelan's scheming on Coronation Street?
The couple find themselves at odds next week as Sally is drawn deeper into Phelan's web, unaware that he has some very unsavoury intentions.
Next week's episodes see councillor Sally scrutinise Phelan's dodgy development proposal very closely. At first she's all for it, but sensible Tim (Joe Duttine) throws a spanner in the works by complaining about how it would mean knocking down the community hall.
Sally soon vows to withdraw her support, explaining to Phelan that the building is too important to the local residents - including Alex Warner, who currently attends a film club there.

Realising that he needs to have Alex on side, Phelan takes him out for a drink in the hope that he'll be able to reel him in.
Phelan later pays a visit to Sally with Alex in tow, explaining that he's had a rethink and would like to include some extra affordable housing to boost the local community.
Gullible Sally is convinced by Phelan's supposed good intentions, but Tim smells a rat and is quick to warn her that she's being taken for a fool.

Phelan tries to talk Sally round
© ITV
Sally Dynevor, who plays Sally, revealed: "Phelan has been telling her that he is going to develop an old building to build his apartments and sell them on. Todd has said that he needs to be careful, as people won't want the building to be developed as they will want it to stay as a meeting place.
"Sally knows she has to be careful, as there are stipulations in the contract that Phelan has to adhere to. But then he says he is going to build some of the apartments for people with learning difficulties.
"Very cleverly, he brings Alex round to Sally's house and uses him as an example of someone who could benefit from the housing. She thinks if she goes back to the committee and explains this, then she may get brownie points.
"She really does want to be looked up to and be a good councillor. She has principles and she really wants to do the right thing, she just doesn't have the experience. She has a good heart and a conscience and she wants to be liked, so she thinks this might help with that."
Discussing Tim's reaction, Sally continued: "Tim can see through Phelan. I'm not quite sure why, but he is a bit more savvy than Sally. She thinks she is cleverer than Tim because he is 'only a window cleaner', while she has been in lots of meetings and read up on it all.
"She is very disparaging about Tim. He is probably ten times cleverer than she will ever be and far more worldly wise. He knows people like Phelan.
"Sally doesn't share his suspicions, because Phelan is very clever and knows how to play people. He has her wrapped around his little finger. He takes her out for coffee and pays, he takes her for a glass of wine and pays for it. As soon as he says he is going to pay, she is there!
"She is completely taken in and thinks he takes her seriously. She thinks he really believes she will be able to do something for him. I'm not surprised at all because I think that is exactly how Sally would react. I like the fact that she trusts him."
Digital Spy
that is a no no letting him pay for drinks when she is on the planning committee
I think sometimes Sally don't deserve Tim, as much as I like them as a couple her posh wannabe behaviour and put downs of him is not nice
Tim was on Anna's side too against Phelan
Sally's been turned into a caricature of herself recently. Like they did with Carla, the Corrie team know they're onto a good thing and are in danger of beating it until it's lifeless.
We all know Sally's snobbishness can be funny, as can her intolerance of Tim, but why not let the comedy flow naturally from situations rather than build contrived scenes solely to showcase Sally's increasingly annoying rudeness and ineptitude? I'd like to see both her work as a councillor and her marriage taken seriously. There's plenty of comedy to be had because Sally Dynevor and Joe Duttine are both naturally funny.
P.S. The Corrie bosses seriously need to employ parkerman to advise on all matters council related! :D
She had a human side underneath all that that seems to have totally disappeared
Coronation Street spoiler – Sally’s saucy sex ban
!
They are famous for their sex life but it looks like Sally and Tim Metcalfe’s bedroom antics are going to hit a roadblock in the new year.
In funny scenes to be screened in the new year the Weatherfield councillor slaps a sex ban on Tim after branding him boring.
Sally finds that while she’s interested in global issues, like climate change, all Tim cares about is his home brew and his window-cleaning business.
Fed up with not getting the brainy boost she wants in the conversation department, she vows there will be no new year nookie until he swats up on something interesting to say.
According to the Daily Star Tim tells her: “Let’s go upstairs and work out our differences in the bedroom like we normally do…”
But Sally hits back: “I’ve tried the carrot now I’ll have a go at the stick. I’m imposing a sex ban, the ban will be lifted when we have a proper, grown up conversation.”
Determined not to go down without a fight Tim comes up with his own ban, telling his wife: “I’m imposing a talking ban. If you’re going to impose a sex ban then I’m going to go the whole hog and live like a monk by imposing a talking ban.”
Talking ban will really make Sally suffer
Coronation Street's Sally Webster will get a terrifying death shock in sinister scenes next week as her online troll steps up a gear.
Sally is currently being targeted by a vicious individual online, who has been making her life a misery and even fooled her into thinking that her breast cancer was back in a sickening prank last month.
Sadly, Sally's ordeal is about to get even darker when she reads her own obituary in the Gazette – leaving her and her loved ones fearing that her life could be in serious danger.
Tim will be furious when he realises that Sally's reactivated her social media accounts and worries that she's putting herself in harm's way.
And his fears are confirmed when Sally receives a text telling her to look at the Gazette, and she's horrified to read her own obituary. Sally is able to mask her fears in front of her factory colleagues, but her facade starts to crumble when she gets even more threatening texts as the trolling intensifies.
Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come as Sally later receives a horrific parcel through the post, prompting her to break down in Tim's arms as she reveals the truth about the torment she is enduring.
A horrified Tim swears he'll find the perpetrator and have his revenge and insists that Sally closes down all her social media accounts immediately, before suggesting that she step down from the council too.
However, a determined Sally insists on continuing with her council duties, turning up for an event at the town hall flanked by daughters Rosie and Sophie.
An anxious Tim follows close behind, but while his wife is making her speech, he notices a woman break away from the crowd.
Convinced that she's the stalker, Tim grabs her phone and stamps on it, but as chaos ensues, has Tim made a terrible mistake? And if he has, who is responsible for trolling Sally?

Coronation Street's Sally Metcalfe could look guiltier than ever in front of the police tonight (August 20) after another crucial piece of evidence against her is unearthed.
Sally (Sally Dynevor) has been wrongly accused of fraud, bribery and money laundering after conman Duncan Radfield blamed her for the recent council money con.
Duncan's cover story is so elaborate that he even gave the police false evidence of text message exchanges that he supposedly had with Sally, which seems to show they were having an affair.
So far, the police have been unable to find the mobile phone used for Sally's end of the conversations – but it pops up tonight when everyone is least expecting it.

Tim Metcalfe is suspicious of Sally in Coronation Street

During a barbecue in Sally's back garden, Dev Alahan rescues Aadi's ball from the conservatory roof but also finds the phone hidden away in the gutter.
Although it's obvious that Duncan must have planted the phone to incriminate Sally, the Metcalfes eventually decide it's best to just be honest with the police. As a result, they call the authorities in to investigate the matter, wanting to be totally open.
Later on, an officer arrives to retrieve the phone but is angry to find that it's mysteriously disappeared. Who has taken it and could this attempt to hide evidence make matters even worse for Sally?
Digital Spy
I do not like how Tim does not believe Sally, I know Sally was flirty with Duncan and had her head turned a bit by the attention but he should trust and believe her
I think if there was not all that fabricated evidence he would but everything is pointing towards Sally being guilty. I think he is really trying to believe her too but it has become more and more difficult under the circumstances ..... of course, it also adds to the drama ...
Sally and Tim split after his affair with Gina .... guess the sudden friendliness on Friday after Tim giving Dev some hometruths is the beginning ... why o why can scriptwriters not split up couples when things get tough!!!
Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor has teased an unhappy Christmas for her character Sally Metcalfe, suggesting she won't be coming out of prison anytime soon.
Sally has been sent to prison for fraud, but her family on the outside are still anxious to get her back home as quickly as possible.
Unbeknown to Sally, there is also another problem developing in her absence as her sister Gina Seddon has fallen for her husband Tim; a secret which is set to be exposed in tonight's episode.
But despite being given new hope from her lawyer Paula in upcoming scenes, it doesn't look like Sally will be heading home in time for her Christmas Dinner – or to put a stop to Tim's growing bond with Gina.
"I don't think she's going to have a happy Christmas," Sally said in Inside Soap's Yearbook 2019 . "She thinks she'll be home, and it just breaks my heart to think that she might not be at home on Christmas Day. Prison food!"
Teasing the future for Sally if she does eventually get released, the actress added: "It would be nice to take her in a different direction – maybe because of what she's been through in prison, she'll come out more community-led.
"She might be looking after people on the Street, making sure Rita's okay. But she'll probably just get it all wrong. I just want her to have learned a few lessons about herself.
"I think prison has really made her look at herself a bit more, who she is inside, and how important her family is to her. She's realised that Tim and her children are everything."

Sally's future ...
Looks Imran will find the evidence to get her released and the truth revealed .. hopefully in time for Christmas?!?! :)
Elsewhere in Weatherfield, Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) was sentenced for her fraudulent crimes last night, as her trial reached an epic conclusion.
Viewers will know Sally is being framed by Duncan Radfield (Nicholas Gleaves) who has set her up to take the wrap for defrauding the council out of £40,000 of charity money.
Sally was sentenced to four years in jail, where as Duncan received a much lesser sentence by walking away from court will only have 200 hours of unpaid work to complete.
However, could Sally be saved by a fellow Weatherfield resident as they begin to backtrack on Duncan’s lies?
Imran Habeeb (Charlie De Melo) had been defending Duncan, but soon had doubts over whether he was telling the truth when Sally was given her verdict.
Speaking with his colleague Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) after the sentencing, Imran said: "He said he got off lightly. Is that the kind of thing you would say if you were coerced into committing a crime?"
“Wouldn’t you feel like justice had been done or angry that you’d been put through it at all?” the lawyer remarked as he began to question his client's story.
After Adam tried to explain Imran wasn’t the one who put Sally in that position, Imran admitted: “You were right, I should have never of taken this case on.”
With Sally’s husband Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) and sister Gina Seddon (Connie Hyde) turning their backs on her, could Imran be her only hope?
Coronation Street's Sally Metcalfe will be free from prison sooner than you may be thinking.
According to The Sun, Sally's (Sally Dynevor) husband Tim (Joe Duttine) will turn investigator during an upcoming storyline.
Distraught and hungry for justice, Tim sets his sights on conman Duncan Radfield (Nicholas Gleaves) and uncovers a shocking truth behind the case which saw his wife sentenced to four years in jail for fraud, money laundering and bribery.
Tim finds out that Duncan's wife May is not dead after all, but in fact living in Costa Rica.
It transpires that the conman tricked Sally into handing over the council charity money (£40,000 in total) so that he could zip it across to his wife.
Once Tim's plan comes to fruition, Sally is expected to be freed from prison in early 2019.
The storyline is apparently inspired by the real-life John Darwin disappearance case.

Hungry for justice after his affair with his sister I expect!
Sally has been confirmed as contestant on Dancing On Ice ... how will she be written out for a few weeks? Or will she just not appear like so many characters lately?
