Coronation Street legend William Roache has admitted that he is not missing having to learn lines while the soap remains closed down during the coronavirus lockdown.
The Ken Barlow actor said that while he misses the show, the relief from the workload has been welcome.
He has been spending his spare time meditating and painting and recently shared tips on This Morning about breathing techniques to help alleviate anxiety.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, he explained: ‘I will say that it’s quite nice to not have any lines to learn, for a change! I do miss it as it’s a very happy place to be. I love working there.
‘The show is going to ration the episodes. We’ve got about a two-month store. I’m keeping in touch with colleagues during this time. I’ve been emailing my Rula Lenska alongside one or two others.’

He added: ‘I have my two children, Verity and Will, with me currently. I have a nice house with a garden where we are self-contained.
‘My daughter is an artist so we’ve been doing paintings, I’ve been doing some writing and we have sections of the house to ourselves in the morning before we get together. In the evening, we get together again and watch TV.’
Coronation Street is currently airing episodes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7:30pm and expects to have episodes stored up until June.
It remains unknown at this stage when filming will be able to resume.
