Coronation Street and Shameless star Maggie Fox has tragically died after a ‘sudden accident’. The actress’ family is “heartbroken” after her death. She reportedly died surrounded by relatives. Details of the accident were not disclosed.

Maggie has had two previous roles on ITV soap operas – most notably Ruth Audsley in 2001.

Her other acting roles include Reckless and Fawcett Legend.

Her comedy co-star Sulaiddin revealed that Maggie’s family was “shocked” after her sudden death.

“It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my comedy partner of 40 years, LipService co-artistic director Maggie Fox. Maggie passed away yesterday in the company of her family,” she wrote on Facebook.

Su continued: “As a result, the Ghoul Castle Spring Tour has been cancelled.

Sue shared the moment they first met as she paid tribute to her close friend, adding: “I met Maggie as a drama student at the University of Bristol in the 1970s. For some reason, the audience lay in The floor laughs about Ibsen’s tragedy (he’s good at it) but the start of an epic comedy partnership.

“Our theatre company, LipService, was officially launched in 1985, and we wrote 22 original comedies, traveled the world, and had kids in between!

“It’s notoriously difficult to show new productions in theaters, and we’re very proud to be able to do that and develop audiences for it.

“We are still in shock because this happened so suddenly after the accident. We are planning to make a new digital version of the Ghoul Castle, which we have filmed and will share with you later this year in memory of Maggie Some live events, using the extensive digital footage we are very grateful to archive.

“Details will be announced when we have plans. Thank you for your support over the years and we are fortunate to have such a loyal audience. We hope you will join us in celebrating your comedic genius later this year. Sue”
