Sinead Tinker will be killed off of Coronation Street after finally losing her battle with cancer

Coronation Street star Katie McGlynn has been at the centre of exit rumours fromCoronation Street for a couple of months. Although official Corrie show bosses told us they wouldn't be commenting on speculation and Katie herself has not commented either way, it's now sounding more and more likely that Katie is, in fact, quitting the show.

Sinead, who is married to Daniel Osbourne, recently gave birth to the couple's baby Bertie, was given the all-clear by doctors regarding her recent cervical cancer diagnosis - but apparently, the storyline isn't finished and will reportedly play a part in Katie's exit.
