Coronation Street's Barbara Knox's life off screen from divorce to co-star fallout
Barbara Knox has starred in Coronation Street as Rita Tanner for the past 56 years. The veteran soap star made her name on the cobbles shortly after its on-screen debut making her one of the longest-serving cast members. After joining the show full time in 1972 following one episode in 1964, 90 year old Barbara established herself as a mainstay on the programme, acting in some of the soap's most dramatic storylines.
