Michael Keegan and Jackie Turner gave birth to actress Keegan in Stockport.
Keegan was offered the job of Tina McIntyre in Coronation Street in late 2007, after just two auditions, and she accepted it, beating out over 900 other applicants.
After six years, she opted to leave the program in 2013, and on June 2, 2014, Tina made her final appearance before being killed off.
Tina, played by Keegan, was a prominent character in numerous high-profile stories throughout her stay on the show.
She was named one of the top 10 Coronation Street characters of all time by The Guardian in 2010.
The actress traveled to South Africa in 2008 to work on the Coronation Street: Out of Africa direct-to-DVD movie, in which she played Tina.
