Digital Spy recently learned that Dame Maureen will be taking another break from Coronation Street in order to accommodate Rose throughout the spring.

The news came after the actress signed another year-long contract extension with the show last summer and spoke about the opportunities the soap has allowed her.

"I won't hear a word against it. It's full of quite exceptional actors working with very little rehearsal, very little direction," she told Reader's Digest at the time.

"Am I envious of some of my peers? Sometimes, yes. Do I have the right to be? Of course not. Would I like to be in Sex Education? Yes, of course. Am I sorry I've signed up with Corrie for another year? No, I'm not."

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