Coronation Street: Jane Danson Mourns Father’s Death

Coronation Street actress, Jane Danson, has asked for some time off from filming to mourn her father, who died yesterday.

Danson, who plays former call girl Leanne Battersby, had kept her dad Jack Dawson’s illness private over the past few weeks.

A Street spokesman told The Daily Star: “Jane has kept this very private indeed.

“She will return to work exactly when she is ready to and our thoughts are with her and her family.”
