Coronation Street - Sean Wilson
Former Coronation Street actor Sean Wilson, who played Martin
Platt, has revealed he left the show because there were plans to turn him
into a paedophile.
The 44-year-old, who is currently starring at Buttons in a Cinderella, also
claimed that those behind the show did not show him enough respect.
He said: “The reason I left was because they wanted my character to have an
affair with a 14-year-old schoolgirl.
“I said I didn’t like the idea of that, they said I was doing it, so I said,
‘OK – I’ll get my coat.’
“I didn’t think they gave me as much respect as my 21 years on the show
deserved. They would have to be very persuasive if they wanted me back.”

Terry Wogan
Sir Terry Wogan has presented his last Radio 2 breakfast show
after 27 years.
As the programme came to an end, the 71-year-old said: "The years together
with you have not only been a pleasure but a privilege."
Prime Minister Gordon Brown paid an on-air tribute to the veteran DJ, saying
he had "shaped the popular imagination of British viewers and listeners"
"Five decades at the very top of British broadcasting is a towering, indeed
an unparalleled achievement," Brown said.
"As you move on from Wake Up To Wogan, I wanted to let you know how very
dearly you'll be missed and how delighted we all are you'll be returning
with another venture before too long."
In response to Mr Brown's comments, which were played during the 0800 news
bulletin, the DJ said: "How dare you slip that across me. Are you all trying
to make me cry?"
As the show drew to a close Sir Terry addressed his audience and said:
"You've allowed me to share your lives with you. When you tell me how
important I've been in your lives, it's fairly moving. You've been every bit
as important in mine.
"If anybody embodies the generous, warm spirit of this
country it's you, my listeners.
"Now, I'm not going to pretend that this is not a sad day - you can probably
hear it in my voice. I'm going to miss the laughter and the fun of our
mornings together.
"I know you're going to welcome Chris Evans with the same generosity of
spirit that you've always shown me.
"I'm going to miss you - till we're together again in February. Have a happy
Christmas. Thank you . Thank you for being my friend."
