Previous festive shockers have included Annie Walker being visited by some old acquaintances, Hilda Ogden saying her goodbyes and the birth of David Platt.

Last year saw Sinead Tinker fear it was her last Christmas after her cancer battle.

Although the news looked positive in scans earlier this year, it’s recently been announced that her prophecy was true and she will pass away this autumn after her cancer returns. 

It looks like Christmas 2019 will be a bleak one for her husband Daniel Osbourne.

An official air date for Corrie at Christmas has yet to be announced.
