How very sad R.I.P
I had only recently read about her difficulties at work and how, even though she had physically recovered from her cancer, she never really came to terms with its effect on her whole life. R.I.P
Whether you're a Corrie fan or not, this is a terrible shame.
She was one of the most recognisable faces on British TV and the character she played of Deirdre Barlow was one of the lynchpins of the whole show for the best part of 30 years.
I only read the other day Anne was confirmed as returning to Coronation Street and then this today. How very sad. Loved Deirdre grew up with her on tv. R.I.P
Whao! Talk about shocked! Can't believe this. She was one of them celebrities/actresses that I expected would carry on acting until she was maybe near 80. Gobsmacked at this.
Sad and shocking news. Like so many people in the UK I've watched Dierdre on tv since childhood.Can't believe she won't be seen again. Condolences to her family and friends
I haven't watched CS for 20 odd years but even I was shocked to read of her passing. 60 is far, far too young. I still remember the Deidre, Ken and Mike storyline. RIP Anne
I could always take or leave Corrie, but she was an icon, no doubt about it. On the rare occasions she was on something else - Mr & Mrs and so on - she seemed very funny and like she didn't take herself too seriously.

R.I.P to her and condolences to her family.
Such a great actress

I love Corrie and will never ever forget 'Free Deidree' it gave us so much fun.
RIP
"...after a very short illness", says Wiki.
What a shocker.

Loved watching her and Blanche together.
I know she asked for extended Leave from Corrie citing 'personal reasons' but didn't know she was ill again
RIP Anne ,Deidre will be missed
