CORRIE favourite Claire Peacock is left fighting for her life after a blood clot kills her secret unborn child.
The flame-haired cabbie collapses after weeks of rows with her gormless hubby Ashley.
The butcher — and viewers — do not know Claire is expecting a baby until doctors tell him she has miscarried.
And they add she may also die as a result of a clot on her lung.
Devastated Ashley then sobs to pal Peter Barlow: “Please, she can’t die — she’s my whole world. And why didn’t she tell me she was pregnant?”
The dramatic summer storyline on the ITV1 soap is a new blow for the struggling couple.
Claire (Julie Hayworth) and Ashley (Steven Arnold) are constantly at war over lack of cash.
She is furious after Ashley cancels their hol — then drinks away dosh at the pub.
An insider said: “It’s going to be a terrible time for Ashley.
“He realises how much his wife means to him — but is it all too late?”
