Former 'Coronation Street' star Geoffrey Hughes is in hospital after suffering a setback in his battle against cancer.
The Press Association says the 66-year-old, who played loveable rogues Eddie Yates in 'Coronation Street', Twiggy in 'The Royle Family', Vernon Scripps in 'Heartbeat' and Onslow in 'Keeping Up Appearances', was admitted to hospital last Friday after collapsing at home.
His representative, Meg Poole, said: "Geoffrey is in hospital and having radiotherapy. His wife has asked for privacy at this difficult time."
A source told The Sun: "He thought he was over the worst after his treatment last year so it was a massive shock to find out it had returned.
"He's a fighter and he is doing his damnedest to try to beat it again."
