Arguably the greatest character in Coronation Street at the moment - or certainly the cutest - is due to be killed off.
If you don't want to know who it is then STOP READING NOW. Okay? Everyone good? We'll continue.
The character due to be killed off in what is described as some of the "saddest" scenes the cast have witnessed, is Maria Connor's black labrador, Ozzie. We can't even.
"When Liam was killed in a hit-and-run it was Ozzy who was her main source of comfort," a Corrie insider said.
"His absence couldn’t come at a worse time with heartache already on the horizon now she’s tangled up in a love triangle with Aidan Connor and his girlfriend Eva Price."
This comes after Samia Ghadie, who plays Maria, revealed in her weekly column that a Corrie favourite would soon be cut from the show:
"It’s been great fun filming, but this week I’ve been recording some of the saddest scenes I’ve ever done in my 17 years at Corrie."
"When I first read the scripts I was in tears so getting to film them has just sent me off. You may need your tissues when they air.
"And we say a sad goodbye to a well-loved member of the cast."
The only word we can think of to describe this terrible news is: gutted.
Totally gutted.
We'll miss you, Ozzy!
