Vera Duckworth is to be killed off in a tear-jerking Coronation Street storyline to be screened early next year, ITV has announced.
Her departure will be filmed in secret and viewers will not know how she dies until they watch her final episode.
Liz Dawn, 68, who has played Vera for more than three decades, is leaving the soap due to ill health.
A lifelong smoker, the actress was diagnosed with lung disease emphysema five years ago.
