Former Coronation Street star Bill Tarmey, who played loveable rogue Jack Duckworth in the show, has died.
A spokeswoman for the soap opera said Tarmey, who featured as the long-suffering husband of Vera, died this morning in Tenerife.
The 71-year-old left the soap in 2010 after more than 30 years playing the pigeon-fancying, loveable rogue alongside Liz Dawn, who played his wife Vera.
A life-long heavy smoker, he suffered a minor heart attack following a bypass operation in 2002.
The actor's family revealed the news and said in a statement: "The family of Bill Tarmey have confirmed that he sadly passed away this morning in Tenerife. They have respectfully asked the media for privacy as they grieve for a wonderful husband, father and brother."
And the star's former colleagues issued their own statement: "The cast, crew and production team at Coronation Street are devastated to hear of Bill's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bill's wife and soulmate Ali and their family at this very sad time."
Antony Cotton, who plays Sean Tully in the show, paid tribute on Twitter saying: "Goodnight Bill Tarmey. You were the best. We'll miss you so much x"
