William Roache a perfect gentleman insist co-stars
Coronation Street stars yesterday defended actor William Roache during his sex assault trial.
Soap stalwarts Anne Kirkbride, who plays Roache’s on-screen wife Deirdre Barlow, and Helen Worth, who plays Gail McIntyre, both took to the witness box at Preston Crown Court praising the character of their co-star.
Roache, 81, was the caring and kind “father figure” and “elder statesman” of the show, who looked after younger members of the cast, the jury was told.
