Coronation Street's Paul Foreman, played by actor Peter Ash, has revealed to his family that he has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) on the ITV soap.
The emotional scenes took place following his sister Gemma's wedding on Tuesday's half-hour episode where he explained that he will have around three years left to live "if he's lucky".
A heartbroken Gemma replied: "This isn't happening, no."
