  • Trivia
    He was charged with indecently assaulting two girls at a public swimming pool. Despite being cleared by a jury, he was sacked from Coronation Street (1960) after he sold his story to a national newspaper. Script writers for the show killed him off when he suffered a heart attack at the wheel of his car. His exit from "Coronation Street" led to a collapse in his personal life. A year after the trial his wife died and by 1991 he was bankrupt. He spent last few years of his life living in Welton, Lincolnshire, far from the fame and glamour he once enjoyed.
