Lucy Fallon Reveals Five-Week Stay at The Priory After 2020 Mental-Health Crisis

She credits a family-led intervention with getting her into care.

Overview

  • The Coronation Street actor disclosed the inpatient treatment on the Secure the Insecure podcast hosted by Johnny Seifert.
  • She said leaving the soap as Covid hit left her with few jobs and growing insecurity before she felt she “couldn’t see a way out.”
  • Admission was arranged by relatives and former colleagues, and she later felt safe in hospital, kept in touch with peers, and moved in with her parents after discharge.
  • Fallon said she was prescribed medication at the time, has since stopped taking it, and rebuilt her life with partner Ryan Ledson, whom she met on Raya.
  • She described a recovery that includes a miscarriage in early 2022, the births of son Sonny in 2023 and daughter Nancy in January 2025, an engagement in November 2025, and feeling “very content” today despite occasional low days.
