Former Coronation Street star Faye Brookes has paid tribute to the strength of her 'Viking warrior' mum as she revealed that she has been battling bowel cancer. Faye, 34, who played Kate Connor in Corrie, took to Instagram to share a landmark in her mum Inger Barber's journey.
The screen and stage star shared a joyous video on Instagram of the moment Inger marked the end of her chemotherapy treatment. A smiling Inger was cheered and applauded by hospital staff as she read out a poem and sounded a bell.
"I can’t believe I’m actually sharing this with you all but it only seems right to celebrate this unbelievable moment today!" Faye wrote. "Our Viking Warrior, Our Guardian Angel, Our Absolute Rockstar of a Mum…. Inger Barber. I love you 10/05/22 is a day we’ll never forget."
