Roache admits cheating on his wife

Coronation Street star William Roache admitted to a jury today that he cheated on his first wife in the 1960s in “a series of relationships” but he was not a paedophile.

Roache, 81, entered the witness box at Preston Crown Court to give evidence in his denial of two rapes and four indecent assaults, involving five complainants aged 16 and under.
