Taking to Instagram, the former Coronation Street actress marked the one-year anniversary of her father David’s death.

She wrote: “One year ago today life changed forever.

“A year without you. A year of missing you. A year of missing your voice, your laugh, your silly jokes.

“In some ways it still doesn’t feel right dad. Like you’re going to walk back through the door any second. I wish you would.
