Mark Eden, who played Coronation Street villain Alan Bradley, has died at the age of 92.

The actor, who had been living with Alzheimer's disease "for some time", died early on New Year's Day, his agent confirmed in a statement.

Eden was married to fellow Coronation Street star Sue Nicholls, who plays Audrey Roberts.

He had been in hospital since November and died peacefully in the early hours of 1 January, his agent said.

"Mark had a long career spanning more than 50 years, including eight years in Coronation Street," he added.

"He is survived by his wife Sue, his daughter Polly, his stepson Saul and grand-daughter Emma. We ask that their privacy be respected at this very difficult time."

A fantastic ending to a gripping storyline.

Corrie at its very peak!

Was he really 92? I had no idea he was that age.

I sometimes used to see him and Sue Nicholls in Sainsbury's in Finchley Road, London picking up their shopping. He always seemed more unassuming than she was.

Sad news.

Sorry to hear that - Alan Bradley was one of the Corrie great baddies on the street and a very memorable character

I also think of him as a roman soldier in Jesus of Nazareth

RIP Mark Eden, sympathies to Sue Nicholls and his family
