Coronation Street legend 'axed by email' after 27 years, shocked co-star reveals
Coronation Street fans have been left heartbroken after it emerged a legendary character was allegedly 'axed via email' from the soap after 27 years on the cobbles.

Les never got an on-screen exit storyline but his stepson Chesney confirmed his former father figure was alive and kicking, residing in Dublin and working as a roadie with an Irish tribute band.
