William Roache: Corrie's 'Deirdre' In Court

Coronation Street actress Anne Kirkbride, who plays Deirdre Barlow, has arrived at court to give evidence in the trial of co-star William Roache.

Roache is accused of four counts of indecently assaulting four girls and two counts of raping a 15-year-old girl in Lancashire in 1967.

He denies all of the charges.

Chris Gascoyne, Roache's on-screen son in the soap, and actress Helen Worth, who plays Gail Platt, will give evidence in the 81-year-old's defence.

Roache's defence case opened on Tuesday, and he told Preston Crown Court he did not know any of the five alleged victims who have accused him of the offences.

He admitted "frequently" cheating on his first wife Anna Cropper, but told the jury he was "not interested in gratuitous sex, and certainly not with under-age people".

"I have no interest in people under age and I have no interest in imposing myself on people."
