ITV Coronation Street star Duggie Brown dies aged 82 as comedian Tommy Cannon leads tributes

Comedian and actor Duggie Brown has died at the age of 82, his agent has confirmed. The much-loved star was also best known for appearing on The Comedians.

He was also the brother of actress and singer Lynne Perrie - who played Ivy Tilsley on Coronation Street for 23 years from 1971 to 1994. Lynne sadly died in 2006 at the age of 74 after suffering from a stroke.
