Coronation Street and Shameless star Maggie Fox have died after a “sudden accident”.
Ox’s comedy partner Sue Ryding announced the news, saying she was in “a state of shock”.
She wrote on Facebook: “It is with great sadness that I have to announce the death of Maggie Fox, my 40 year old comedy partner and co-artistic director of LipService. Maggie passed away yesterday with her family around her.
She added: “That’s why the Chateau Ghoul’s spring tour has been canceled. As you can imagine, I’m completely heartbreaking.”
Details of the accident are currently unknown.
Fox played two roles in Coronation Street during her 40-year career, as Ruth Audsley in 2001 and Judge Travers in 2010.
She was best known as Bilson in the ITV period drama The Forsyte Saga and she also appeared on the Radio 4 Sketch Show Lip Service, which she co-wrote with Ryding. The couple was scheduled to go on a national tour this week.
