Coronation Street icon Julie Goodyear has been diagnosed with dementia.
Her husband Scott Brand shared his wife's diagnosis on Wednesday. In an emotional statement, Scott said: "My darling wife and I have had to come to terms with this heartbreaking diagnosis.
"Unfortunately, Julie has been suffering forgetfulness for some time and we have been seeking medical advice and assistance, but we now know that there is no hope of a reversal in the situation – and that her condition will get progressively, and perhaps speedily, worse.
