Meanwhile actress Katie McGlynn has confessed that Sinead’s tragic storyline has given her a lust for life.

Speaking about the storyline, Katie told: "It has made me realise that time is precious.

"You can’t take any minute for granted because you never know what’s around the corner. A plot like this gets instilled in your brain and makes you grateful to be here."

Sinead found the lump on her wedding day before doctors confirmed she had just months to live.

The actress told Philip Schofield and Holly Willougby on This Morning that she sobbed through her last scenes.

She said: "It's heartbreaking, but it's real life. When we were doing scenes that day, I thought that I can't imagine this happening to me.

"Deep down [Sinead] knows [about her cancer], but she makes sure she enjoys her wedding, she's so brave."

The star also said she told bosses she wanted her to die: "I was talking to [Corrie bosses] Iain [MacLeod] and Kate [Oates] about this story.

"I told them that I think I might want to leave due to not having a big storyline, but when I was given this, I told her that I want her to die as life isn't a fairytale."
