Ex-Coronation Street star Vicky Entwistle says husband's cancer diagnosis was 'worst nightmare'

Vicky Entwistle who played Janice Battersby on Coronation Street said her “world crumbled” when her husband was diagnosed with cancer. She portrayed the infamous character for 14 years and left the ITV show in 2010.

Next month the 54-year-old is set to host a Prostate Cancer UK Carol Concert at St George’s Hall in Liverpool. It’s cause which is close to Vicky’s heart as she became a supported of the charity after her husband Andy was diagnosed with the condition, the LiverpoolEcho reports.

She said: "When Andy was diagnosed, both our worlds started to crumble. We did not know a lot about prostate cancer, and hearing a diagnosis of the ‘Big C’ for their husband is any wife’s worst nightmare. During lockdown we went on walks together for hours, just thinking about our future and what we could do next.
