Coronation Street fans were stunned after spotting a very familiar face in a 1984 horror film.
The war film, titled Threads, told the story of a nuclear strike on Britain through the eyes of two families, tracing the events leading up to the war and the decade of devastation that follows.
And attentive fans noticed a young Jane Hazlegrove, best known for playing Bernie Winter.
In one scene the now 56-year-old was seen in a supermarket reading a magazine with headphones.
Bernie is the mother of twins Gemma Winter-Brown (Dolly-Rose Campbell) and Paul Foreman (Peter Ash).

Popular stars Jane and Harriet Bibby (Summer Spellman) reflected on the tragedy with Metro, admitting that their alter-egos are in an impossible position.
‘It’s really tough and I think the guilt really eats away at everyone who was there,’ Harriet reflected. ‘Dealing with this loss, Billy wants them to tell him about Paul’s last moments and how his words affected Paul.
‘Summer and Bernie are dealing with their own grief at the time and then the added guilt of this lie that might’ve been for the best, but also not for the best.’
Jane continued: ‘Bernie tries, god knows she’s a trier, but she doesn’t always get it right. But that’s the fabulous character that they’ve created and I’m just very lucky to say these lines really.
‘It’s devastating but it’s what Corrie does. It highlights these things and makes us all go home and think about what the journey is really like.
‘We’re lucky that we get to go home and take the frocks and shoes off every night and go home to our lives. Who knows what’s around the corner for any of us. It’s been a real privilege to be part of this story.’
