Calendar Coronation Street

Coronation Street will air an episode dedicated to Rob Burrow, seven weeks after he died from motor neurone disease.

The comedian, who shot to fame on Britain's Got Talent aged 14, will play Carla Barlow's nephew Bobby.

The TV comedy actress turned to soap acting in 1978 when she was offered the role of Brenda Summers, a victim of domestic violence, on Coronation Street.
