Coronation Street legend Sue Nicholls has shared a poignant message ahead of her character's heartbreaking storyline. The ITV soap has confirmed that Audrey Roberts will confide her friends that she attempted to take her own life.
Last month Corrie viewers were shocked when they saw the stalwart character receiving treatment in hospital after leaving a family gathering at the Bistro early but was then seen lying about being at home to her concerned daughter Gail. She also told a doctor that she had accidentally taken too many tablets.
This week she continues to insist that was the case to her own GP but in an emotional scene, which will be broadcast on August 15, Audrey confides in friends Roy, Rita, Claudia and Ken and admits to attempting suicide, despite previously telling her doctor she had only taken too many tablets by mistake.
