The actor, who is best known for playing Ken Barlow, invested in a business venture in the Cayman Islands which HMRC claims was a tax avoidance scheme.
Coronation Street star William Roache today avoided being declared bankrupt over half a million pounds wanted by the taxman.
Mr Roache, whose property portfolio includes a £900,000 house in Wilmslow, Cheshire, did not attend the hearing. His financial problems date back to the 1990s when he ended up bankrupt after suing The Sun for libel for calling him 'boring Ken Barlow'. Not unlike his character, who developed a reputation as a ladies' man, Roache admitted he cheated on his first wife - TV actress Anna Cropper - because of his huge sex drive.Roache holds the Guinness World Record for the longest serving actor in a television soap opera
His baby Edwina died from pneumonia aged 18 months in 1983, before his daughter Vanya passed away at the age of 50 in 2018 after battling liver failure. Roache admitted to a fling with fellow Coronation Street star Pat Phoenix - who played Elsie Tanner from 1960 to 1984 - claiming the affair was a 'one-off'
More than a decade later in 2012, Roache joined a tax-avoidance scheme, becoming a 'designated member' of Twofold First Services LLP, owned by a company registered in the Cayman Islands. His love life has also been tumultuous - having endured a divorce in 1976 to his wife of more than a decade, Anna Cropper, following allegations of his infidelity. Roache went on to marry his beloved wife Sarah in 1978, before she passed away years later in 2009.
The home is filled with grand decor and sentimental touches - with ornate pieces, stunning windows and sweeping curtains.
