Coronation Street's William Roache, who plays Ken Barlow, has been cleared of one of seven sex abuse charges at his trial, on orders of the judge.
Jurors at Preston Crown Court were directed to acquit Mr Roache of the indecent assault charge because of insufficient evidence.
Mr Roache, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, is still on trial over two rape and four indecent assault allegations.
