Coronation Street fans were left \u201cin tears\u201d as Rita Sullivan actress Barbara Knox reunited with an iconic former show star for her 90th birthday documentary special.<\/p>\n
The Corrie legend, who first appeared as Rita Littlewood for one episode in December 1964, has reached the milestone age of 90 and TV star Bradley Walsh has surprised the star with a trip down memory lane for an ITV special to celebrate the occasion.<\/p>\n
As the duo discussed the star\u2019s life, which saw her become a permanent cast member in January 1972, she was surprised by a visit from her old TV sidekick, actress Mavis Wilton, who played her best pal, Thelma Barlow from 1971-1997.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fans were blown away by the dynamic duo\u2019s reunion, and many admitted they were moved to tears.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo nice to see this, and so many memories of watching #corrie with my Nan in the 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s it makes me emotional,\u201d said one fan.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbsolutely loving #barbara90 – #corrie tribute to Barbara Knox – what a lovely, warm, touching, glorious watch. Tearing up,\u201d penned a second.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The two were seen hugging and encouraging each other to be strong and not cry. \u201cBarbara may not be crying, but we are!\u201d someone admitted, with a second echoing: \u201cNot me crying when they both said they weren't crying.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barbara herself was eventually seen breaking down in tears as Bradley took her to a favourite vacation spot in Blackpool Tower\u2019s famous ballroom where they enjoyed afternoon tea and dancing, much like she did with her own family. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cBarbara and Bradley dancing together in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom I'm gone this is such a beautiful documentary for a Corrie legend Barbara Knox,\u201d gushed one fan.<\/p>\n
\u201cBradley and Barbara's memory lane journey is getting me emotional,\u201d penned another and \u201cBeen crying 99% of the way through this.\u201d <\/p>\n
Barbara\u2019s cast mates including Ken Barlow star William Roach, Audrey star Sue Nicholls and Norris Cole star Malcolm Hebden also shared heartfelt tributes to the star.\u00a0<\/p>\n
