Good Morning Britain viewers have defended Adam Rickitt as he appeared on the programme to share a warning to others after falling victim to a sophisticated banking scam.
The former Coronation Street and Hollyoaks star was close to tears over the weekend as he spoke about the horrifying ordeal in an Instagram video.
He took to the social media platform to share what happened to him in a bid to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. Adam, who originally played Nick Tilsley in Corrie from 1997 to 1999 before launching a pop career, said he felt 'stupid' for getting tricked and claimed that the convincing scammers 'knew everything about him'. "CONFESSION TIME!
I know a lot of people will laugh at me for this... but I want to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else," he penned alongside a video of himself speaking to the camera from inside his bar, in Knutsford, Cheshire, which he owns with TV presenter wife Katy.
