Corrie spoiler: Blanche Hunt has last laugh with will

Norris thinks he's in line for a fortune when Blanche's will is read out in Coronation Street, only to find out that she has cancelled her copy of Crossword Monthly! And Betty is snubbed when Blanche insists on Elliot's pies at her wake and "definitely none of those terrible Betty's Hotpots".

These are just some of the japes that Blanche plays on her 'friends' and family from beyond the grave. According to the Daily Mirror, she also describes Ken as a "serial cheat" and demands her wake be held at an expensive hotel even though "he'll try to bury me on the cheap".

The reading of Blanche's will and her funeral will be seen in Coronation Street in May. Actress Maggie Jones who played battleaxe Blanche died in December, aged 75.
