Bruce Jones sings the blues to the Sunday People and admits that he's broke. There's a list of reasons why, he blames bad business decicions and reckons £30,000 was spent on booze.
Bruce was sacked from Coronation Street, the paper says, after 19-pint boozing session in which he allegedly cracked jokes about Pakistanis, made sexual jibes about actress Wendi Peters (Cilla Battersby) and called his Corrie co-stars "w***ers". And he then goes on to say about his role on Coronation Street as Les Battersby: "Don't get me wrong, if they asked me back tomorrow I'd go back." Ooh, I won't hold my breath.

He says he stayed on corrie too long but he'd go back. Too right he would. A regular income! He also says several times that he was raised where men always went to the pub for a pint after work. If Bruce had stopped at *a* pint instead of 19, he wouldn't be in this mess. And I've seen first hand how much that man can put away. During the appearance here in Halifax a few years ago, he went through probably 5 or 6 beers *during* the show and the organizing committee said he was boozing every night though, to be fair, he was very professional, too, and met all his media obligations on time and dry during the day.
He hasn't a chance of being asked back!
Every time i see an interview with him he's moaning about one thing or another. I think they must pay him for the interviews, so when he really needs to pay the mortgage, out comes another one. I got a hint for him. Sell one of those homes he has. or sell them both and buy something smaller.
He was a liability. Breathing alcohol fumes all over his fellow cast members and turning up with huge hangovers.
You reap what you sow...
