Coronation Street: Helen Worth on Bill Roache's 1,000 women

At last night's Royal Television Society Awards, Radio Times journalist and top Corrie fan David Brown caught up with Helen Worth, who plays Coronation Street's Gail McIntyre.

David asked Helen about the news from last week about her Corrie co-star Bill Roache sleeping with over 1,000 women and this is what Helen had to say: "Good luck to him. I haven't spoken to him about it yet because he's in Canada. But don't worry, it'll wait till he gets back."

Helen was also asked whether she herself had been one of Roache's many conquests: "No!" came the instant reply, amid much laughter from the Street veteran.

She also told David about the wonderful "jogging in the country" scene that she filmed with her on-screen mum Audrey Roberts. "The day we filmed that walk started out all right - we managed the first scene in one take, which was just as well as there was a poor cameraman walking backwards with a huge camera. But then, of course, it turned to rain and we got very damp."

And she also said that she hopes Gail doesn't have a happy ending because: "I'm not too worried about Gail ever finding happiness because being happy doesn't make for good stories."
