Unhappy Corrie Star upset about filming Blanche's Funeral

Coronation Street's William Roache, who plays Ken Barlow in the soap, has revealed how difficult he found it to film the funeral of his on-screen mother-in-law Blanche Hunt.

The actor said filming the funeral at a similar time to attending the memorial service for the actress Maggie Jones was "really upsetting".

He said: "What was quite bizarre was that on-screen we were doing the death of Blanche and then we had to break off and do the memorial service for Maggie.

"It really got very complex. I have never had a confusion of reality and non-reality before and it was really upsetting for a lot of us.

"You didn't know what you were upset about either, you were losing the actor, a friend, a colleague and the character."

Maggie, who had played the character since 1974, died in a Manchester hospital on December 2, aged 75.

Soap bosses hastily wrote a storyline where Blanche flew to Portugal with a friend.

The funeral will be screened on ITV in May.
