Viewers will see the street's residents gathered in Nick's Bistro for a Full Monty strip show, before Norris Cole rushes in to alert people of the rapidly-growing flames outside.

The episodes took three weeks to film and involved stunt doubles, a special effects team and specialist fire crews.

Corrie residents will soon learn the fire was not an accident and Sunita may be to blame.

Gulati told Digital Spy: "It's an amazing send-off. It feels great and I feel so pleased. The Rovers itself burning was hard to watch.

"When you watched the inside burning, there was Betty's picture in flames, along with all those memories. Sunita was a barmaid there too, so she had an inside out relationship with the pub.

"I had a stunt lady there to do any scenes I didn't want to do, but when it came to it I just thought, 'This is the last time viewers are going to see me as Sunita, so you might as well see my face and not the back of the stunt double!

"When I finished filming the fire I cried. I thought how awful it must be to actually be in that kind of disaster. It must be horrific because the heat was horrendous.

"I could feel the burn. You could actually feel your skin burning. I had a bucket of cold water for me to cool down in because I was that hot, hot beyond belief."

Set the tape recorder or book the TV, Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, March 18 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
