Coronation Street legend Julie Goodyear's husband shares rare picture amid star's dementia battle


Julie Goodyear, who played Bet Lynch on Coronation Street, celebrated her 83rd birthday on Tuesday (March 29) and her husband has shared a sweet update with fans

The couple, set to celebrate their 18th wedding anniversary in June, were last seen beaming and embracing at the starting line of their local Alzheimer's Society event in October 2023, reports the Mirror. Since stepping back from television, Julie has dedicated herself to charity work, becoming a patron of Manchester's Willow Wood Hospice in 2022, where her former co-star Roy Barraclough passed away in 2017. The Queen of the Rovers contributed to raising £16,000 for the hospice by donating a collection of iconic memorabilia, including Bet Lynch's renowned jewellery and clothing items.
