The former Coronation Street actor Julie Goodyear has led tributes to her former co-star and on-screen husband Roy Barraclough, who has died aged 81.
In an emotional statement on Thursday, Goodyear said she was devastated to hear of the death of her “dearest friend”.
During a 55-year career in theatre and on TV, Barraclough was best known for his Corrie character Alec Gilroy, who had a stormy marriage to Bet Lynch, played by Goodyear.
Goodyear, 75, said: “My dearest friend, Roy Barraclough, has passed away at 6am this morning. I have no words to describe how devastated I feel. We kept in close touch and spoke to each other at least two or three times every week.

I thought it was Mr Barraclough from Porridge! I've not watched Corrie since Ena Sharples days but he seems familiar. :rip:
