Coronation Street star Ian Bartholomew may be getting all the applause for his role as the manipulative and controlling Geoff Metcalfe, but he says that portraying the character has been "horrifying" for him at times.Speaking to Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford on This Morning, he said: "(Geoff) is dark.

It's been fascinating, it's not been fun. A lot of people have said, 'oh have you enjoyed playing the villain?' Well, no."The thing is that Geoff does not see himself as a villain, he is not a well man, there's a disconnect somewhere.

But purely as an acting exercise I've never done anything like this before, certainly not over such a long period."You have a general idea of the storyline but until you get a script you don't know what it is,.
