Following Gleek Chord Overstreet's claims that an "important" star in the show would killed off, the sad episode - entitled Funeral - aired in the US last night, showing the New Directions coming together to organise a service for Jean, played by Robin Trocki.

Jane Lynch, who stars as bitter Sue Sylvester, has since spoken to Entertainment Weekly about the tragic storyline, admitting that she found shooting the emotional scenes "rough".

The 50-year old actress explained how show producer, Ryan Murphy, asked her if she would be happy with the plot, stating: "He took me aside at a party and said, 'I want your blessing on this before we move forward'. I said, 'It sounds like a really great storyline'."

"It's the thing that will break Sue Sylvester's heart and get to where she lives. People with Down's syndrome rarely last past 30. Robin is 55. So this really hit home. Her sister is there with her all the time, Sharon. They have a very tight relationship. So it was very bittersweet."

She added: "The funeral was awful (to shoot) with the kids singing Pure Imagination. It was really rough and I will miss her very much. I love working with Robin!"
