Good it was not Covid-19.

I wonder why they never acknowledged it at the time

RIP Betty!

Eight* months for the show to acknowledge one of its biggest and most beloved characters? I know there's privacy but that's surprising.

Bizarre isn't it, was it to do with the Australian storylines?

it's all news agencies, so i guess her relatives or carers didn't think to tell anyone until now

Doesn't look to good on ITV if that is the case that they never checked on her well being during lockdown especially as they still reference Betty in the soap!

I don't think it reflects on ITV at all. The family obviously, for whatever reasons, didn't want to make the news public at the time.
