It looks like karma has finally tracked down Tracy Barlow in Coronation Street, as she is about to be struck down with a serious kidney infection.

Fans of the award-winning show will know that back in the 90′s Tracy (Kate Ford) needed a kidney transplant from her mother’s toy boy husband, Samir Rachid, after a drug overdose during a night out, so when she starts to feel pain her one remaining good kidney, she knows how serious the situation might be.

Having just been asked to move out of her current home by Landlady Emily Bishop after having had enough of Tracy’s wayward antics, the murderous vixen finds herself alone when she doubles over in pain.

Her unconscious body is later discovered by her mum, Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride) and she is rushed to hospital, where her condition quickly deteriorates.

Coronation Street can be seen Monday, Thursday and Friday evenings on ITV1/ITV1 HD (Viewers are to check for any schedule changes this week due tot the Olympic Game coverage)
