Lorraine was also very enthusiastic about Sue's transformation, asking her if she would like to keep her new hair going forward.
Sue replied: "I'd love to but I don't think they will let me. I thought, this is the only time in my life where I can just do what I want with my hair, and I thought, I'm going to do it.
"Don't worry, it will wash out!"
Coronation Street fans will know that ITV has halved the number of episodes that are being aired each week, taking the total from six episodes to just three.
But while there is a chance we could run out of episodes if lockdown continues too much longer, Sue reassured fans that everyone at Coronation Street is working hard make sure we can enjoy the soap on TV for as long as possible.
She told Lorraine: "All you need to know is there are people working behind the scenes working everything out.
"I'm not party to that, I just wait for the phone call to say come in, but there is a lot of work going on at the minute."
Coronation Street will temporarily air a reduced schedule of three episodes a week. Watch on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm on ITV.
