It's now been five years since McGlynn waved goodbye to Weatherfield as Sinead Osbourne, who tragically passed away from cervical cancer. She marked the anniversary of her final scenes last October in an emotional social media tribute.
"I can't quite believe it's been four years since we said goodbye to Sinead Tinker (maiden name)… a character I'll always cherish playing!" she wrote.
"As you all know, Sinead died from cervical cancer... so please, don't forget to go for your smears, it could quite literally save your life. The best memories with the most incredible team @coronationstreet."

In a follow-up message, McGlynn, who competed in the 2021 series of Strictly Come Dancing with pro Gorka Márquez, celebrated the unbelievable fan response.
"Waking up this morning with tears in my eyes reading all of your comments and messages letting me know that Sinead's cervical cancer storyline saved your lives... More than anything I wanted my final storyline on Corrie to mean something and to make a difference, and the fact so many women are letting me know they might not be here today if it wasn't for that storyline means more to me than words can ever express," she shared.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
