Friday's episode of Coronation Street is dedicated to the Leeds Rhinos legend.
Rob and Lindsey Burrow met actors Daniel Brocklebank and Peter Ash when they visited the Coronation Street set last year
Rugby league legend Burrow, who died on 2 June, dedicated his final years to fundraising to help those with the condition after he was diagnosed in 2019. The episode will see Foreman, played by Peter Ash, being told his stairlift is no longer safe to use, meaning he will become unable to get in and out of his flat.“There was quite a lot of pressure, especially when it's something that real people live with in their life, so we just wanted to get that right really,” he said.
"He probably doesn’t quite understand the impact he had on everybody but for such an iconic soap to cover something like this is incredible."
