Lloyd Mullaney to suffer a heart attack in Coronation Street?

Coronation Street's Lloyd Mullaney is set to suffer a suspected heart attack after taking part in a charity fun run, it has been reported.

The Corrie cabbie will fall ill while taking part in the fundraiser in memory of former street resident Hayley Cropper, who died in January after battling cancer.

Craig Charles, who plays Lloyd, has been snapped filming the scenes on location with Krissi Bohn, who plays Lloyd's daughter Jenna.

Images show Lloyd running outdoors wearing a tracksuit and then clutching his chest in pain. Another picture shows him collapsing and falling to the ground as Jenna runs towards him.

The Daily Star reported that Lloyd's best mate, Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) worries he could be to blame for Lloyd's heart attack as he tripped him during the race because he wanted to win.

The cabbie's friends are left worrying and waiting for news after Lloyd is rushed to hospital.
