Coronation Street star Katie McGlynn has been at the centre of exit rumours from the soap for a couple of months. Although official Corrie show bosses told us they wouldn't be commenting on speculation and Katie herself has not commented either way, it's now sounding more and more likely that Katie is, in fact, quitting the show.

Sinead, who is married to Daniel Osbourne, recently gave birth to the couple's baby Bertie, was given the all-clear by doctors regarding her recent cervical cancer diagnosis - but apparently, the storyline isn't finished and will reportedly play a part in Katie's exit.

Despite news from doctors in last night's episode that there was nothing to worry about, The Sun are reporting that her prognosis will take a drastic turn for the worse, and will tragically be given a terminal diagnosis.

The horrific news will come with a decision for Sinead to make over whether she will choose to die at home or in a hospice.

A TV insider told the publication, "From her two rocky relationships to the mini-bus crash, she’s been in some of Corrie’s most captivating storylines. Producers will be sad to see Katie leave the soap, but she will make an unforgettable departure which is set to leave viewers in tears."
