Coronation Street shop owner Dev Alahan will battle cancer in an upcoming storyline.

Dev breaks down when he learns that he may have bowel cancer in an episode to be shown this June.

“Dev will show a vulnerability that we haven’t seen before," a source told The Sun. “He just crumbles before our eyes as he goes for the hospital tests.???

Fiancée Maya is left to "pick up the pieces" after Dev receives the news. Meanwhile, his illness rekindles shop assistant Sunita's feelings for him as she contemplates the prospect of losing him.
