Actress Sophiya Haque, who played Rovers Return barmaid Poppy Morales on Coronation Street, has died earlier today. She was just 41 years old and fell ill just before Christmas and was told just days ago she had cancer.
While undergoing tests, Ms Haque, developed a clot on her lungs and died this morning.
Her agent Oliver Thomson broke down in tears today as he told of his shock at losing “such a wonderful friend”.
He said: “Sophiya was a wonderful actress, a wonderful client but so much more than that a wonderful friend. She was adored by everyone she worked with and will be deeply missed.”
She was currently performing the role of Sylvia in Privates on Parade for the Michael Grandage Company.
