Coronation Street's Roy Cropper star's life off-screen including rarely-seen wife and living in Spain
Coronation Street's Roy Cropper, played by David Neilson, has been a staple on the ITV soap for nearly three decades, becoming a firm favourite among fans. David, now 75, first stepped into the shoes of Roy back in 1995 when he was 46, and has since been involved in some of the show's most memorable storylines. One of the most poignant was his relationship with Hayley, one of television's first transgender characters, who tragically took her own life after being diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer in 2014.
