Major player: Bill Roache otherwise known as Cock Barlow. Hilarity or Horror?

So yeah.  Ken Barlow and his friggin ONE THOUSAND WOMEN.

News broke of this last week but of course in Ireland we were busy with a ton of other things  so we didn't get a chance to discuss it.  Confessing on Tears Piers Morgan, 79 year old Coronation St veteran  Bill opened up about his free lovin past.  Including:

  • Fellow cast members of Corrie used to refer to him as Cock Barlow
  • He had it away with Pat Phoenix.  It must have been bad - she didn't speak to him for years afterwards
  •  Women would often call him "Ken" in bed.  This I find the funniest

It's the behaviour of a rock star sure rather than a mild mannered actor but to be honest I don't know why everyone is so shocked.  As Cock himself says - the opportunity was there and he took it.  Whenever he got the opportunity.  He was married during many of those opportunities though.

Advertised

But still, I heard Keith Duffy, a fellow cast member of Cock,  on Ray Darcy this morning and he said look, he's a gent, the ladies love him so what you gonna do.  Kerry Katona has gone on record as saying "fair play to him, if he’s got his leg over in the past then good on him."

And dividing 1000 by 79 isn't THAT much... is it?

What do you think of this story?  And more importantly - Would You?
