Bill Tarmey gave an emotional interview to ITV's This Morning programme today. With tears in his eyes, he said his farewells to 31 years of Coronation Street.
You (well, if you're in the UK) can watch Bill's interview online here and it's definitely worth a look. However, This Morning did get something wrong about Bill Tarmey's history on Corrie. They showed a clip of what they said was Bill's first Corrie appearance but it was actually Jack's first appearance when he turned up as Vera's husband at Gail and Brian's first wedding. That wasn't the first time Bill Tarmey appeared on Coronation Street. He had already appeared as an extra before then and you can read more about Bill's stints on Corrie as an extra before finding fame with Jack Duckworth at Back on the Street.
Bill revealed in the interview that his pigeons will carry on in Corrie and they'll be looked after by Tyrone.
Post-blog note: Looks like this is now on YouTube so overseas visitors may now be able to watch the interview here.
