Fans of of super-cosy BBC drama Last Tango In Halifax were left with jaws on the floor at the end of Sunday's episode when it looked like writer Sally Wainwright, fresh from winning huge acclaim for hostage drama Happy Valley, had killed off one of fans' favourite characters.
So now the question all viewers want to know is: Did that car accident really leave Kate dead? Or did she pull through?

By the looks of the teaser snaps from this weekend's episode, it appears that Kate - played by the fantastic Nina Sosanya - has definitely been bumped off. Though we don't have concrete written proof... well, these pictures from a funeral kind of point in one very clear direction, right?

Although, in more exciting news, an Orange Is The New Black fave is set to appear as Kate's grieving mother. Michelle Hurst, who played Miss Claudette on Season 1 of the Netflix smash, will be seen mourning with Sarah Lancashire's Caroline when the third series' fourth episode airs this Sunday (January 18).

Oh, and it doesn't look like the drama between Gillian and John is over quite yet, either. And, judging by their outfits, it looks as though the FUNERAL of all places will be where they have a bit of an intense tete-a-tete.

It's been a dramatic few weeks for the popular show: Alan (Derek Jacobi) has already found out he had a son with a fling from Way Back When, Gillian has lost her job after the most hilariously uncomfortable dildo-in-a-supermarket scene we have ever witnessed, and Celia (Anne Reid) caused conflict when she refused to attend Caroline and Kate's wedding.
Wainwright giveth and she TAKETH AWAY.
