Coronation Street star Julie Goodyear knocks £200,000 off asking price for her Manchester mansion just two months after putting it up for sale


The actress, 82, who played Bet Lynch on the soap from 1970 to 1995, put her four-bedroom farmhouse up for sale back in October for £1.5million.

Her friend Mark Llewellin, who was the partner of Julie's late co-star Roy Barraclough, spoke about his regular visits to see her on the Conversation Street podcast. Speaking to The Mirror, he said: 'I miss the fun-loving wife that Julie had always been – the larger-than-life personality that brightened up everywhere she went, and the smile that lit up every room. Scott, who gave up his career to be Julie's full time carer, explained that he has now become aware of the small freedoms he used to take for granted.
