CORONATION Street favourite Vera Duckworth will ditch husband Jack for MP Andy Burnham on Saturday, when she visits Leigh to promote new pension credits.
Actress Liz Dawn, a staunch Labour supporter, will join Mr Burnham in Leigh's Spinning Gate Centre between 11.30am and 12.30pm.
Mr Burnham said: "Liz is a very strong Labour supporter and will be helping publicise the additional cash available from this week to pensioners.
"She is to spend an hour in Wigan and then will come to Leigh where she will be delighted to sign a few autographs. I think she's leaving Jack behind this time!"
