Coronation Street star Stephanie Beacham was confronted by a hammer-wielding burglar during a raid at her London home, a court heard.
The soap star, 75, was reportedly present at her home in Bayswater, West London, when she allegedly came face-to-face with the intruder on September 25 last year.
Stephanie is said to have had several items stolen from her during the home invasion, including a chequebook, jewellery, keys, a purse and a mobile phone, Southwark crown court heard.
