Bill Roache has reiterated that he fancied the Queen when the pair met for the first time almost seven decades ago, with him asserting that she was "very attractive".
The actor, 90, - best known as Ken Barlow on Coronation Street - has previously spoken about first meeting the monarch, 96, but revealed more about it recently.
He explained that his first interaction with the Queen had been during his time in the army, when he was stationed in Jamaica with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in the mid 1950s.
