Sue Johnston, 78, has revealed how she has all but given up on dating men. The Royle Family star played Jim’s wife in the popular sitcom and has had two failed marriages in her personal life.

In 2017, Sue opened up about her previous relationships in a candid interview with The Mirror, in which she admitted to having been single since her second marriage, to David Pammenter, ended in 1980.
The TV veteran said she was a “happy” singleton.
Sue explained: “I’m very happily single. I’ve had the love of my life and I’ve had the s*** of my life.”
