Gilly Coman, who played Aveline in the Eighties sitcom Bread, has died from a suspected heart attack at the age of 50.

 

More than 21 million watched her Catholic character – a wannabe model - marry Protestant vicar Oswald in 1988.

 

Gilly, from Wirral, left Bread in 1989 after five series and was replaced by Melanie Hill. She retired from acting in 2000 to be a full-time mum to her three boys and daughter.

 

Bread writer Carla Lane said yesterday: ‘She was brilliant…. amazingly funny.

 

‘The way that she dressed up in those high heels and walked down the street represented Bread for me.’

RIP

 

My thoughts are with Kophead at this difficult time.
