Le Vell denies drunken rape of girl

Alcoholic Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell told a jury that he had never got so drunk that he raped a young girl

The soap actor has admitted he has a drink problem, had a number of one-night stands while married, and also cheated on his wife while she underwent chemotherapy for breast cancer.

However, he repeatedly denied his troubled personal life had led him to become a child abuser.
