Coronation Street Bill Roache

Legendary Coronation Street actor Bill Roache is set to celebrate his 90th birthday this week, and his life has been every bit as soapworthy as his ...

“To not be able to say goodbye to Vanya was awful,” he recalled. Bill has also shown his lighter side on TV over the years. Bill recalled: “I bolted straight into my dressing room and didn’t want to see anybody. Bill recalled in his 2018 book Life and Soul: How to Live a Long and Healthy Life : “When Piers continued to press me for numbers and asked if it was 1,000 women, all I said was, ‘It could be. He has described Bill as an inspiration to him, but added that fans were always mobbing his famous father wherever they went. The body was actually designed to go on for ever.” I said, ‘It looks as though there’s a relationship coming up,’ and shortly after that David Beckett joined the cast. He recalled: “With Annie, it felt like being married in a parallel life even though we’d go our separate ways in the evenings.” However, while Bill caught the bug for his future career, he initially felt he had to follow his father into medicine. Bill is now celibate, saying: “I don’t need a sexual relationship anymore. I didn’t have the strength to control it. Ken and Deirdre also tied the knot again in 2005.
