TV star Patricia Brake has sadly died at the age of 79 after a long battle with cancer, her family has said.
The actress had a successful career spanning 60 years that saw her play notable roles in soaps such as Coronation Street, Emmerdale and EastEnders.
However, she was perhaps best known for her role opposite 'dad' Ronnie Barker in Porridge in the 1970s, The Mirror writes.
