Choreograp­her Stephen Mear also tweeted about Victoria, who died from cancer aged 62, posting: “I lost a very close friend and the nation lost a comedy Genius. Miss you Vic x.”

One fan tweeted that they “might watch Acorn Antiques all day”.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that a statue of the star will be unveiled in her home town of Bury in mid-may.
