Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) has her life changed forever in upcoming Coronation Street episodes,
And she reacts to the news by pushing partner Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) away.
Over the past few months, Debbie has been experiencing worrying problems with her health.
They have been small moments that she's known aren't quite right, like putting her purse in the fridge and forgetting things.
But she never really considered they'd be as a result of something like dementia and put it down to something like the menopause.
However, Debbie visited a doctor recently and discovered there's a chance she might have young-onset dementia which left her stunned and frightened.
But she put a brave face on and asked Ronnie to marry her - which he happily accepted - he has asked her first.
However, in upcoming episodes, she receives confirmation of her shocking diagnosis.
Ahead of her appointment, Debbie is forced to swerve a lunch date with Ronnie.
And she fails to tell him that she's going to the hospital with Carl (Jonathan Howard).
Debbie Webster's to be diagnosed with dementia in harrowing Coronation Street storyline
When they arrive, Debbie and Carl listen as the neurologist confirms that Debbie has vascular dementia.
But they tell her that as long as she leads a healthy lifestyle, she can carry on as normal for the time being.
A shocked Debbie makes it clear to her brother that she wants to keep her diagnosis to herself for now, and isn't ready to tell the family.
When she arrives home, Debbie has to put on a façade as Ronnie tells her that he's put in an offer at Number 6.
Corrie cash crisis: shock exits for 2025
ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap.
This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama.
Colson Smith - Craig Tinker
The character of Craig Tinker has been axed by bosses after 14 years. After he was told of the news in Autumn 2024, Colson Smith confirmed that would be written out of the show with scenes to air later this year. Craig's on-screen mum, Beth Tinker, also left the show in the summer when actress Lisa George was written out from the role.
Sue Cleaver - Eileen Grimshaw
After 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw, former I'm A Celebrity campmate Sue Cleaver will quit the show. The Sun on Sunday reported in January that she's already begun to film her exit scenes. However the character will not be killed off in case Sue opts to make a return in the future.
Luca Toolan - Mason Radcliffe
Bosses decided to axe the teenage character after just 16 months after he first joined the show. Recent scenes saw Mason stabbed by his criminal brothers after his pal Dylan brought a knife in an attempt to defend him.
Sue Devaney - Debbie Webster
In November 2024, we revealed that Debbie Webster is set to be killed off after 40 years on the cobbles. The character will die as part of a heartbreaking long-running dementia storyline.
Charlotte Jordan - Daisy Midgeley
The actress became the fifth star to leave Coronation Street in just one month. We revealed that she will bow out of the ITV soap later this year after four years on-screen. Charlotte told sources that she's hungry to see what other opportunities await.
Shelley King - Yasmeen Metcalfe
The actress has played Yasmeen Metcalfe on the cobbles for the past 11 years and we revealed in January that she finished filming her final scenes. This follows the departure of her on-screen partner Stu Carpenter.
But as the week continues, things look set to end badly for Debbie and Ronnie,
As she is seen calling round to the Bailey household with her partner's belongings.
Debbie tries to tell a heartbroken Ronnie that he's done nothing wrong and that she's the problem.

Stephen Mulhern's £1m Butlin's role axed in latest career blow for ITV star

Former Butlin's redcoat Stephen Mulhern has lost his lucrative £1m contract with the famous holiday firm. ITV star Stephen Mulhern has been dealt a huge career blow. The presenter has been dropped from his reported £1million gig as the face of Butlins, rounding off a spate of ill fortune with work commitments. Mulhern, 48, hasn't had his contract renewed with the famous family-friendly UK holiday resort chain. As part of the deal he performed magic shows on stage at the firm's centres in Minehead, Bognor Regis and Skegness, but he will not return after the summer season. ‌ A spokesperson confirmed the news and stated that the star, a former redcoat for the legendary firm, had 'enjoyed' his time working with the brand. ‌ The spokesperson told the Mirror: 'Stephen has absolutely loved being part of the Butlin's family - performing his stage shows in front of thousands of holiday makers across the country and the relationship with Butlin's remains hugely positive. "This change allows Stephen to explore new opportunities in the family holiday space – something he's incredibly passionate about." A Butlin's spokesperson added: "Stephen has been an incredible part of the Butlin's experience and continues to be a valued member of the family. Stephen's much-loved live show won't return in 2026 after three fantastic years, but we're thrilled to be working together on ongoing projects this autumn.' Stephen's Butlin's axe was revealed by the Sun, as a source told them: 'Stephen has been a massive hit with holidaymakers. He began his career as a Redcoat and has kept families brilliantly entertained.' The TV magician's role on ITV Dancing On Ice came to an end earlier this year when the show was cancelled. The reality ice skating competition was cancelled due to low ratings, after Stephen had joined Holly Willoughby to host in January. He replaced Phillip Schofield, who was booted from all of his ITV roles after his affair with a younger colleague at This Morning was revealed in 2023. And last year, Stephen's other TV show, In For A Penny, was cancelled after six seasons , though there have been hinted it will return. A source previously told The Sun: "So don't put your pennies away just yet as the team could be popping up in your local town, to challenge even more members of the public to take part in their unique and madcap games in the future." ‌ Stephen also suffered a traumatic time in his personal life last year when his dad passed away. Stephen paid tribute to his late father in a touching moment after his Royal Variety Performance act last December. As the audience applauded his magic tricks, he said: "That was for you dad." The TV host continues to front ITV's Deal for No Deal which was revived in 2023. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Noel Edmonds and what he's really like off-camera, revealed by co-worker

Noel Edmonds and what he's really like off-camera, revealed by co-worker Noel Edmonds' friend and co-star Julie has revealed what the TV favourite is really like off-screen and how he's settled in to life in New Zealand since he moved there in 2019 Noel Edmonds had worked with British expat Julie on his River Haven ineyard (Image: Julie Crook ) A woman who worked alongside Noel Edmonds at his River Haven estate in Ngatimoti, New Zealand, has shared her insight into the television personality's off-screen nature. Following his departure from I'm A Celebrity in 2019, Edmonds relocated to New Zealand, where he purchased the £15m River Haven property. This estate comprises 12 properties, including a pub named The B*gger Inn and his own vineyard. These features will be showcased in an upcoming ITV documentary that follows Edmonds as he builds a new life in New Zealand. ‌ Julie, a British expat living near River Haven, had the opportunity to work with Noel in his vineyard after offering to help with the grape harvest. ‌ The British star moved to New Zealand after his exit from I'm A Celebrity in 2019 (Image: Mike Marsland, WireImagevia Getty Images ) Although their collaboration was filmed for the ITV show, Julie claims that Edmonds' friendly nature was genuine and not just for the cameras, , reports Belfast Live. In an interview with Julie revealed: "He's just the kind of man who goes out of his way. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter Article continues below "He doesn't put it on just for the camera, he's just a really nice guy. While we were working on the vineyard, he was giving us water and ice pops, and he got to know everybody's name and even when you go to the B**ger Inn for a meal, he'll just come over and just have a chat whether you know him or not, and some Kiwis don't even know that he's a celebrity. "He doesn't shy away from hard work either, he was getting his hands dirty." The British star had bought the property after relocating New Zealand with his wife Liz (Image: ITV ) ‌ Julie has responded to the criticism aimed at Noel over his purchase of River Haven, which has stirred a local and media storm since he moved in, per a report from the Express. She weighed in on the situation, calling his relocation 'great' for driving tourism to Ngatimoti, thanks to his vineyard being located there. Discussing Noel's charitable nature, Julie highlighted his $10,000 contribution towards clearing a local school's debt. ‌ However, she conceded that Noel's particularly British dry wit doesn't always resonate with the locals. Expanding on this, she remarked: "I don't think because they don't get him and as an immigrant from the UK, we have the English banter so I understand it, and Kiwis don't get that sense of humour, and it can come across as a bit weird to them." The first episode offers viewers a glimpse into how Noel and his wife Liz are getting on with the community, featuring highlights such as Noel outlining his health regimen, the eye-catching golden statue outside his pub, and a revelation from Noel that he "was an emperor in a past life".

Olivia Attwood on her facelift plans, the popular surgery she'd NEVER have & why she keeps her money separate from Brad

The Love Island icon also hit back at trolls and reveals her thoughts on the Kardashians' makeovers LIV IT UP Olivia Attwood on her facelift plans, the popular surgery she'd NEVER have & why she keeps her money separate from Brad IN a time when celebrities are more sanitised than ever, it's refreshing to speak to a star who isn't afraid to say what she thinks – even if it offends. It's that unfiltered, straight-talking, no-nonsense attitude that helped Olivia Attwood, 34, win over the nation on Love Island in 2017, and propel her to the top of TV commissioners' most-wanted list. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Olivia Attwood is at the top of TV commissioners' most-wanted list Credit: MARK HAYMAN 7 Olivia Attwood with husband Bradley Dack Credit: instagram 'I don't take myself too seriously,' she admits. 'Sometimes, the problem online is that the nuance is lost. I'm writing something, cackling away because it's like, 'wink wink', but then it reads differently. Then it's all: 'She attacked someone'. And it was just a little joke. 'Guests leave my podcast saying: 'I'm worried about X and Y', and it's nothing controversial. There's a culture of trying to please everyone by saying nothing. But the only person you're selling short is yourself. 'It'd be very easy for me to change the way I approach things, and zip it. But should I change everything and be boring because a handful of trolls have got in a twist? I don't think so,' she laughs. 'I'm happy to be Marmite. It works. I've given them something to talk about. It's much easier for me to be myself, plus it's so much more fun.' 'The Kardashians' bodies are not created in the gym' True to form, Olivia has never shied away from discussing the work she's had done, either – two boob jobs, chin liposuction, plus regular tweakments of Botox and fillers. Does she think other celebrities should be equally open? 'This is such a difficult conversation, because I don't want to tell people that they owe us their medical records. However, I think when people monetise things, like they're on Ozempic but selling a weight-loss plan, or they've done something to their skin and are pushing a face cream, it's disingenuous. 'I like openness. I always say that if you look at me and something looks too good, then it's probably not natural.' As for the Kardashians, who recently hit the headlines for Kris' reported facelift, and Kylie Jenner revealing details of her breast augmentation on social media, Olivia has mixed feelings. Olivia Attwood reveals she's landed huge ITV role on This Morning after Loose Women success 'I'm all for honesty, but it feels like it's a bit fashionable now to be an open book. I wish we'd had that energy from them years ago,' she says. 'Kylie came out and said about her boobs, and I was like: 'I've been talking about my breasts for the past 10 years.' I like the Kardashians, this is not me bashing them, but it's too little, too late for me. 'We know Kylie's breasts are fake. We knew she had lip fillers when she was selling those lip kits. What about talking about lipo and BBLs [Brazilian bum lifts]? Their bodies are not created in the gym.' Olivia is back discussing surgery on the second series of her ITV documentary, The Price Of Perfection. During the show, she follows different people's nip/tuck journeys, from TOWIE star Charlie King's nose job, to The Traitors' Amanda Lovett's facelift. 'It is full-on and we've got to make a decision about how much gruesome stuff we leave in,' she says. 'I knew going into the shows that I was fine with blood, and I've watched a lot of surgeries online. I find it more interesting than disgusting. But it's the smell as they cauterise the flesh, which is basically burning it to stop it bleeding.' In fact, despite having a self-confessed 'pancake bum', watching a BBL in Turkey put Olivia off wanting the surgery. 'I would definitely have a facelift in the future, as they can look amazing,' she says. 'I'll have my breasts done again, because they're only guaranteed for 10 years and, if I have kids, I'll have to redo them. BBL is the only one I wouldn't do, because the risk is too much. It's one of the surgeries that has the highest revision rate. 7 Olivia has never shied away from discussing the work she's had done Credit: MARK HAYMAN 'Watching surgeries makes you appreciate what you're putting your body through. I've minimised breast augmentation [in the past], but when you actually see it happening, it sobers you up to the reality of surgery. I think that it's probably given me a bit of a reality check. I love cosmetic intervention and I think it can be life-changing. But surgery is surgery. It's not like getting your nails done or whatever. It's still a big risk and I don't think we should trivialise that.' When leaving Love Island, contestants are often offered free boob jobs or surgery, but Olivia says she has been scrupulous about never accepting free treatments. 'I know I'm lucky to have the ability to fund my own procedures. But I learned really quickly coming out of Love Island that even if it's a hair colour or make-up, when you take something for free, you put yourself into a strange power dynamic. You are recommending that person [or product] and you can't really retract that. 'I know first-hand people who have had a free boob job and it's gone tits-up, quite literally, and they can't publicly tell that story.' 'Being a woman is hard enough, I don't need a man sticking his nose in' Money is a topic Olivia is keen to discuss, joking that she pays a 'hot-girl tax' when she has work done. 'That's tongue-in-cheek,' she says. 'I'm not implying if you don't have work done, then you're not hot. 'But we do have a female tax in general. Colouring your hair, waxing, nails, make-up. . . That s**t is expensive, and I don't think men realise that. Being a woman costs a lot.' Olivia married professional footballer Bradley Dack, 31, two years ago in a lavish London ceremony. Does the Gillingham midfielder ever complain about her spending too much on her appearance? 'No, he knows! We don't have those conversations. Actually, I moan when I see him buying another set of golf clubs. I'm like: 'What a waste of money!' So, I'm a complete hypocrite,' she laughs. 7 Olivia before she had lip filler Credit: SUPPLIED 'But he does pull me back to reality. If I say: 'F***, I look old today,' he'll be quick to say: 'Please!' "Also, it's boring. For me, it would be very easy to become so obsessed with the way I look. But Brad will say: 'There are so many more things interesting about you, Liv, than whether you've got a wrinkle.' I love that he does that, because it reminds me not to get sucked in.' Would he ever tell her to stop getting work done? Olivia shakes her head. 'No, how I want to look is an individual journey. I don't do things for him. If I don't feel sexy, everything will have a knock-on effect. Although, if he said it from a wellness point of view, of course I'd listen. But I wouldn't have married someone [who wanted to get] that involved. Being a woman is hard enough, I don't need a man sticking his nose in. He can worry about football and I can make the call on what I need to look good.' As well as deciding how she looks for herself, financial independence is another priority for Olivia. 'I went to an affluent private school, and I remember a close friend whose dad left their mum for his secretary. Suddenly, the big house and the cars were gone, and there's a 50-year-old woman who doesn't know how to pay a bill and can't access their bank account. Watching the rug be pulled out from under people in real time was horrendous. 'Women should absolutely be able to stay at home if they want to. I applaud women who are fulfilled by that. But financial freedom is something that we should always prioritise, because you can't say you're in an equal relationship if you don't have the power to leave when you want to.' 'Get the man, get the handbag, but don't quit your job' She recounts the story of one woman who told her that she'd found messages on her footballer boyfriend's phone that proved he was cheating. 'I said: 'You have to go,' and she said: 'Where? It's not my house, it's not my car. Everything is in his name.' You do not want to be in that spot. 'And I know it's easier said than done. I speak from such a privileged position and I love my job, but I want young women to be educated. Yes, get the man, get the handbag, but don't quit your job. Brad and I have separate bank accounts and a joint one for bills. Everything is very transparent. He knows what I earn, I know what he earns. We know where the money goes. You need to make sure you are aligned with money and want to spend it on the same things. 'Women don't like talking about finances. I don't think we should be afraid. Don't let men mansplain us out of finances. I educated myself a lot in the last two years about money, tax structure and investment.' Olivia and Bradley have also been discussing when to start a family. 'I don't get annoyed with people asking me,' she says. 'I feel like I've entered into this relationship with the public where everything is for sale! I had my wedding on telly. I'm very open on social media, so I think it's natural that people will be curious. 7 On Love Island in 2017 with Georgia Harrison Credit: shuttershock 'In general, should we be constantly asking women about children? No, but I put myself in a different box. It's like these celebrities that sell their whole relationship, then they break up and ask for privacy. No, absolutely not. We are invested,' she laughs. 'I'm very comfortable with the narrative I've created, and I'm proud to be a voice for women in the same position. I know I want a family, I'm in my early 30s and fertility doesn't last forever. But my life is really full right now and I'm enjoying smashing work. Having a baby would change things, and that's something a lot of ambitious women are afraid to talk about. Whether we like it or not, having a baby will affect me in a different way to Brad. 'And I don't half-arse anything in my life – I'm not going to half-arse being a parent, so I'll do it when I'm ready. If it happened, I'd embrace it, but it would be hard to pause right now, as things are going so well.' She's absolutely right. There's another series of Olivia Attwood's Bad Boyfriends on the way, along with the fourth series of Getting Filthy Rich. Her podcast, Olivia Attwood's So Wrong It's Right, is growing, and she also has her weekly Kiss radio show with Pete Wicks, plus her role as an ambassador for Maybelline. Then there's the subject of Love Island. With rumours that presenter Maya Jama is preparing to step down, surely Olivia is a natural successor? 'I don't know if that's true,' she says. 'Poor Maya is probably thinking: 'Why is she out there auditioning for my role?!' I have no information about Maya stepping down. For all I know, she'll stay for the next 10 years. I think she's f**king great, but if and when she didn't want to do it, I'd throw my hat in the ring. 'Love Island is the best thing I ever did. That show changed my life. I was lost and it redirected me. No one should have any expectation a reality show can do that. But for me, it worked out well.'
