The 42-year-old actress was among thousands who were "rightfully shocked" that her 'Coronation Street' co-star Lucy Fallon has never tried the hot beverage and has been doing her best to persuade her to give the drink a try.
Writing in her OK! magazine column, she said: "I was chatting to Lucy about the fact she's never drunk a cup of tea. She mentioned it on Twitter last week and people were rightfully shocked. She says she can't get past the smell, but what's not to love about a brew?
"I told her she doesn't know what she's missing - there's nowt better than a cup of Yorkshire Tea and a Hobnob!"
Lucy made her confession on Twitter last week.
She posted: "never had a cup of tea in my life and I intend to keep it that way x (sic)"
The 'Corrie' actress' omission shocked a number of the Twittersphere, including her co-star Georgia Taylor (Toyah Battersby), who admitted Lucy's surprise beverage boast had left her feeling "a bit sad".
She wrote: "Not gonna lie, I feel a bit sad (sic)"
But Lucy - who plays regular Roy's Rolls cafe visitor Bethany Platt in the ITV soap - confessed she hates the way tea smells.
She tweeted: "It's just the way it smells I can't get onboard with it (sic)"
Georgia attempted to convince her to start making some beautiful brews, but her mind couldn't be changed.
She tweeted: "I'm genuinely sat here now with a massive brew, sniffing it Doesn't smell of much to me (sic)"
Several other fans took Twitter to question why the cobbles dweller isn't a tea drinker, resulting in Lucy admitting: "I feel like I've let everyone down x (sic)"
But one of her supporters said they think a brew "smells rank".
A delighted Lucy replied: "I agree!!! I can't stand the smell of it (sic)"
