Les Battersby (Bruce)

[Octavius]

What is it that he did to get sacked from Coronation Street, never to return? Will he be killed off on his roadie tour?

"Actor Bruce Jones was suspended from the show in March 2007, following Sunday newspaper allegations of drunkenness and inappropriate comments made in the presence of an undercover reporter"

He did more than reveal story lines. He slagged off other cast members to the reporter, called a member of the public a f*ing c* when she asked for his autograph and was extremely abusive to elderly diners.

The things he said about other cast members was on tape - when they heard it they refused to work with him, knowing how he felt about them.

Dev is not the only one to have been caught taking drugs in real life - Craig Charles the taxi chap, Steve McDonald, the girl in the new family have all been photographed with drugs whilst working on Coronation Street.

Oh - and in the story line Les meets another woman and refuses to come home to Cilla.

Also wasn't Craig Charles found guilty in a civil court of rape? I think he was aquitted at Crown court.

I liked Bruce Jones, he did great work for charities like mencap.

Went to a do once for fundraising, he was there so was that sureaane girl, cannot spell her name, None of the other cast were there, perhaps he was right to call them.

[Shadow Man]

No Max Bygraves said "I'm gonna tell you a story"
