Widow Maggie Watts from Scunthorpe, who lost her husband Kevin, to pancreatic cancer, has become friends with Coronation Street's Julie Hesmondhalgh, who played Hayley Cropper, who died last night after a long battle with the same illness.
A widow from Scunthorpe is preparing to head to Westminster tomorrow for a debate which she hopes will help in the fight against the disease which killed her husband. Maggie Watts helped raise more than one hundred thousand names on an online petition to force a debate on pancreatic cancer. Her husband Kevin died from the disease five years ago. He was just forty eight. Maggie wants more funding for research.
At around 11pm on Friday night police were called to Darley Avenue in Athersley to reports that a man had been stabbed.
