Gail's idea of selling the house appears to be tied in with her exit storyline, with her final scenes due to air later this year.

Speaking about leaving the soap behind after five decades, Worth said: "I have been truly blessed to have been given the most incredible scripts week in, week out and to have worked with fantastic actors, directors and a brilliant crew."

She added: "The past 50 years have flown by, and I don't think the fact that I am leaving has quite sunk in yet."

These scenes air on Wednesday, October 2, and Friday, October 4.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
