Former Coronation Street and Hollyoaks star Adam Rickitt was close to tears as he told fans he had been scammed out of 'tens of thousands of pounds'. The soap actor took to Instagram to share what happened in a bid to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else.
Adam, who originally played Nick Tilsley in Corrie from 1997 to 1999 before launching a pop career, said he felt 'stupid' for getting tricked and claimed that the convincing scammers 'knew everything about him'.
"CONFESSION TIME! I know a lot of people will laugh at me for this... but I want to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else," he penned alongside a video of himself speaking to the camera from inside his bar, in Knutsford, Cheshire, which he owns with TV presenter wife Katy.
