Gary Mallett actor rapped for benefit fraud


Ian Mercer, who played Gary Mallett in Coronation Street, has been fined £185 for falsely claiming £2,300 for council tax, according to The Sun.

This comes just weeks after appearing in the new Pirates of The Caribbean film. He was shopped by a tip off who revealed that he claimed despite still getting acting work.

He said: "I'm in and out of work. I'm a married dad of two."

  1. I'm surprised that his name has been mentioned on these blogs after all the work he put into supporting Coronation Street. I think it will be bad enough his name stated in the newspapers without extra news about his bad behaviour on this blog.
