Only yesterday I was talking in the showbiz about the fact that Anne who plays Deirdre Barlow wouldn’t be returning to the soap. I had no idea she was sick and I can’t believe she passed away last night. This morning we were looking back at her biggest storylines on Coronation Street. The ‘Free Deidre’ campaign went huge in 1998 when she was put in prison, people across the UK had posters in their car and shop windows and even the Prime Minister at the time, Tony Blair, got behind it. One of the other huge Corrie storylines back in the 80’s was her big affair with Mike Baldwin. She won TV personality of the year when that played out. Deirdre was one of the favourite characters on the soap for over 42 years and she died at the young age of 60. X Factor’s Lucy Spraggan was chatting to this morning. She’s in Sheffield all this week at the Motorpoint Arena singing with hundreds of school choirs, it’s called Young Voices. She’s just announced a new tour and she’s playing at the Leadmill on the 23rd of May. If you see her hobbling around this week it’s because she broke her ankle on the patio. It wasn’t drink related. Our School of the Week High Greave Junior School in East Herringthorpe will be on the Spelling Test tomorrow at 8am. It’s not how to spell, it’s what are the spelling?
