Corrie veteran left show to be with ailing son

Bill Tarmey left 'Coronation Street' to spend time with his seriously ill son.

The actor quit his role as Jack Duckworth on the ITV1 soap last year and while it was initially unknown why he decided to leave, he has now revealed he wanted to dedicate time to 44-year-old son Carl, who was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour in 2009.
