Daniel Brocklebank, who plays Billy Mayhew in Coronation Street, was interviewed on ITV's This Morning show earlier this week.
Daniel talked about the upcoming storyline where Billy is bundled into the boot of a car with Peter Barlow. It's a nice, festive storyline, no? Ah well, it wouldn't be Christmas unless there was drama. And the drama comes next week when Peter finds out that Billy was in the car responsible for his twin sister Susan's death.
Daniel revealed all to Eamonn and Ruth on This Morning and laughing, said that yes, the vicar used to be an armed robber! He said that the car crash he was involved in was part of his life that caused Billy to join the church in the first place, which is interesting to hear.
Daniel is now in his fourth year of being in Corrie, he said, and this year is the first time he's found out why he joined the church and what his background story really is. He comes across as a really nice guy in the interview. It's on the ITV Hub if you'd like to watch it (and can tolerate the ads, which aren't fast-forwardable).
We're a finalist!
