'Coronation Street' will celebrate its 50th anniversary later this year with the programme's biggest-ever stunt.

The storyline will see the viaduct at the end of the street collapse, sending a tram crashing onto the famous cobbles.

The disaster, which will play out over a special week of episodes, will see some of the show's well-loved characters killed off.

'Corrie' producer Phil Collinson exclusively revealed details of the storyline on ITV show 'This Morning'.

He said: "As we celebrate the show reaching such an incredible milestone it feels fitting that we will be screening an event of this magnitude which will affect the lives of all the residents of Coronation Street.

"We’ll be using all the wonders of modern television production to bring you a disaster that will rock the lives of everyone in Weatherfield. At the heart of the drama, though, will be ordinary people on an ordinary street battling adversity - the template for the programme created by Tony Warren 50 years ago."

Bill Tarmey, who plays Jack Duckworth, and Vicky Binns, who plays Molly Dobbs, are among the characters who are due to bow out of the soap this year.

However, Collinson would not be drawn on who exactly will die in the tram crash, only saying "everybody's future is uncertain."

'Coronation Street' celebrates its 50th anniversary on 9 December.
