Coronation Street's Bruce Jones 'can't watch' soap as he hits out at storylines – after Les Battersby axe
ok.co.ukBruce Jones has revealed that he can't watch Coronation Street. It was revealed earlier this week that the 71-year-old actor's alter ego Les Battersby will die off-screen, but he has hit out at the ITV soap that he starred in from 1997 until 2007.
Bruce told GB News: "I had no time when I was there to watch it, because I was in it. But I sat and watched Corrie with my wife on Monday night, and at the end of part one of that show I walked out the room and I didn't go back until I heard the music at the end.
I just couldn't watch it. "Where were the storylines? There was no comedy. My wife said to me when I came back, 'Why did you go out?' I said, 'Sandra, that is not a show I was in.That was not the show I spent 10 years in.' He added: "So no, I'm sorry I couldn't watch it.
I went out and I made a cup of coffee." Bruce admits that he feels a sense of relief about his character's death, even though he claims that the move has left fans "annoyed" with bosses on the ITV soap.
