Tina McIntyre to appear in Coronation Street one last time

Coronation Street barmaid Tina McIntyre may have been killed off by Rob Donovan, but she's set to appear in the soap in one final scene.

The feisty brunette, played by Michelle Keegan for six years, will be seen by viewers in a special hour-long episode of the ITV soap, when friend Steph Britton (Tisha Merry) finds an old video of Tina on her phone.

The episode, which screens tonight (June 23), will see the Weatherfield residents bid farewell to Tina at her funeral. But flatmate Steph decides to miss the ceremony and stay at home with memories of her late friend.

Steph finds footage on her mobile phone of herself and Tina laughing and dancing around, singing S Club 7 hit Reach as they got ready for a night out.

A brief clip will be shown on the soap and then immediately after the show the full recording of Tina and Steph's video will be available to view on www.itv.com/coronationstreet.

The previously unseen footage, created especially for Coronation Street's website, was the very last scene shot by actress Michelle Keegan when she bowed out of the soap in May.
