RIP Coronation Street actress Maggie Jones. You were Blanche Hunt, Deidre Barlow’s mum. “You need to learn to enjoy other people’s misfortune; otherwise, you’re going to have a very unhappy old age” – that was you.

Says ITV:

“Maggie, who has played battle-axe pensioner Blanche Hunt since 1974, died at the Salford Royal Hospital where she has been treated since falling ill in October. Maggie had been making a slow recovery but her condition deteriorated early Wednesday morning and she passed away peacefully in her sleep.”
