Coronation Street legend Bruce Jones has spoken out after it was revealed his iconic character Les Battersby will be killed off in an upcoming storyline on the soap
Coronation Street's Bruce Jones, who played the unforgettable character Les Battersby, has expressed his disappointment over his character reportedly being killed off. The 71 year old actor, who brought life to the larger-than-life character from 1997 to 2007, was allegedly informed of Les's demise via email.
" already emailed me a over a fortnight ago to tell me what was happening," he told MailOnline. "I actually thought, well fine, I played him for ten years. It gives me closure. Maybe it will stop people asking me all the time when I'm going back, if I'm going back." When asked if he held any resentment towards show bosses over their decision, he replied: "No, none whatsoever. They gave me ten years and I invented a great character and it became a great hit with everyone. I wish them all the luck in the world.
