Sally Dynevor, who plays Sally Webster on Coronation Street, has commented on ITV1's Alan Titchmarsh Show about Michael Le Vell.
She said: "Michael is strenuously denying the accusations and I am backing him 100 per cent. I have known him for 25 years and am right behind him."
Sally had been booked for the Titchmarsh interview before the allegations surfaced, but agreed to answer a question about Le Vell during the pre-recorded chat on Wednesday
