Coronation Street's Jane Hazlegrove declares love for co-stars as she's left 'crying'

Coronation Street star Jane Hazlegrove has declared her love for two of her co-stars after she was left 'crying' watching the show's latest episode which included a tragic exit.

There were gut-wrenching scenes in the ITV soap on Monday night (September 9) as 17 months after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease Paul Foreman, played by Peter Ash, tragically died.

Jane's character Bernie Winter and Summer Spellman called for help as Paul struggled to breathe while Billy Mayhew was out desperately looking for his lost phone.

Back at the hospital, doctors informed Paul's family there was nothing more they could do but make him comfortable. Soon after, Bernie, Summer and Paul's sister Gemma Winter-Brown headed in to say their emotional goodbyes to Paul with Billy still trying to make it to the hospital in time.

But in a tragic turn of events, Billy didn't make it to the hospital in time to fulfil his promise of being by Paul's side when the time came, thinking he'd only managed to say he loved him one last time over the phone.

However, as viewers know, Paul had already passed as Summer Spellman got Billy, who was running to the hospital after getting trapped in traffic in Frescho's car park, on the phone. Paul's mum Bernie encouraged Billy to say what he needed to Paul while Summer and Gemma watched on in tears.

As the dust settled on the emotional scenes, Jane took to social media on Tuesday (September 10) and shared a picture of herself with her on-screen children Peter and Dolly-Rose Campbell, who plays Gemma.
