Coronation Street spoiler: Jack Duckworth to speak to Vera's ghost

It's all rather depressing. But in heartbreaking scenes to air later this year, Jack Duckworth (pictured here with lady friend Connie) will see the ghost of his wife Vera on his deathbed.

Bill Tarmey announced in April that he was leaving the ITV soap after three decades. Initially it was thought that he was going to be written out in the 50th anniversary tram crash, but it turns out that he is to die of cancer.

The Daily Star reports that his last lines will be him asking Vera (who was played by Liz Dawn) if it's warm where she is now.
