ITV will be airing a special documentary to celebrate Coronation Street legend William Roache's 90th birthday.
The actor, who is the longest serving TV soap star in the world after playing Ken Barlow for six decades, will be celebrating his 90th on April 25.
Corrie's special documentary, named Happy Birthday Bill, will look back at his life and achievements over the years.
It will also include interviews from his nearest and dearest, as well as soap co-stars, as they reminisce on the biggest moments of his life.
Speaking about the documentary, Bill said: "I don’t feel nearly 90 at all. The Coronation Street cast are like a second family to me and I can’t quite believe I’ve been lucky enough to play Ken Barlow for over 60 years.
“It’s also been lovely revisiting past memories and remembering all the wonderful things I have seen and done over the years.
“I hope the viewers enjoy watching the documentary as much as I did making it.”
During the documentary viewers will catch a glimpse of Bill’s life off set at home with his family, as well as his experiences behind the scenes on the show he has called home since it began in December 1960.
The programme will also provide an insight into Bill’s life before Coronation Street as he returns to his old army barracks in which he served before making a move into acting.
During his time on the cobbles, Bill’s character Ken developed a reputation as something of a ladies’ man, marrying four times to three women.
Ken was involved in a number of dramatic storylines with his third on-screen wife Deirdre Barlow, played by Anne Kirkbride, who featured on the show between 1972 and 2014. Kirkbride died in January 2015.
One of the most memorable moments made newspaper headlines in Britain in 1983 after it was revealed that Deirdre was having an affair with Mike Baldwin, played by Johnny Briggs.
The storyline captured the interest of both the media and viewers, with 20 million people tuning in to watch Ken’s discovery of the affair.
Bill was awarded an MBE in the 2001 New Year Honours and an OBE in the 2022 New Year Honours for services to drama and charity.
