Actress Jennifer Wilson has passed away aged 89.
Jennifer was known for her roles as Mrs Bradbury in Coronation Street and Lily Compton in Casualty, as well as starring in hit 70s shows The Brothers and Special Branch.
It's believed the actress, who was born in London on 25 April 1932, passed away at her home in France, according to a friend.
Her cause of death is currently unknown.
Jennifer's final TV appearance is thought to have been in 2015 when she starred as Nancy Milne in several episodes of Doctors.
Jennifer's friend took to Twitter to announce the sad news, where he described the late actress as his "lovely friend" and a "Shakesperean starlet".
He wrote: "Farewell my lovely friend Jennifer Wilson who has passed away in Cannes aged 89. Jenny was a Shakesperean starlet before finding success in TV, most notably as Jennifer Kingsley in The Brothers. I shall remember the balmy hot nights in Cannes we shared together and the laughs."
In light of the news of her passing, people have taken to social media to pay their condolences.
One person wrote: "Farewell Jennifer Wilson who has passed away in France, aged 89. Jennifer was in every episode of The Brothers between 1972-76. Condolences go out to her daugher Mel and grandsons. RIP."

Someone else penned: "Dear All to say sad news that the lovely wonderful English actress Jennifer Wilson has left us on 29th March. She was nearly 90 and had a wonderful career and will be much loved by all for her beauty and talent."
According to The Sun, the late actress started her career as a stage actress where she starred in plays like Twelfth Night and Macbeth before she made her television debut as Kate Nickleby in the BBC TV serial Nicholas Nickleby.
It was during filming that she met her husband Brian Peck, whom she married in 1959.
Sadly Brian passed away last year – almost a year to day of Jennifer's death.
Paying tribute to the late actor at the time, someone wrote on Twitter: "Farewell to Brian Peck who died yesterday aged 90. Brian played a bank manager to the Hammonds in The Brothers and was also Jennifer Wilson's real life husband. He is also known for many other TV roles in Rising Damp, Survivors, Coronation Street to name a few. RIP."
