Coronation Street's Ken Barlow actor Bill Roache claims he has slept with up a thousand women

Coronation Street star Bill Roache claims he has bedded up to ONE THOUSAND women. As strait-laced Ken Barlow, he has managed to chalk up 28 girlfriends in more than half a century on the box. But in real-life Casanova Corrie star Bill Roache has been a bed-hopping babe magnet with an amazing string of conquests. In a remarkably frank interview he claims to have slept with up to 1,000 women – including a one-night stand with Weatherfield legend Pat Phoenix. Bill, who turns 80 next month, also reveals how: * His insatiable appetite earned him the nickname “C**k Roache” among other members of the cast. * He regularly cheated on first wife Anna Cropper because he couldn’t control his sex drive. * He has successfully battled booze and depression – and has vowed never to retire.
