We see them on-screen more than we see some of our own family members but have you ever thought about how the likes of the stars of Coronation Street keep their youthful looks? William Foley's problematic skin as a young man has led to him working at a Cheshire cosmetic studio where he has helped some of our very own TV stars including the ITV soap's Sally Dynevor and Samia Longchambon.
The 38-year-old works at the ØNE aesthetic studiø in Alderly Edge under the expertise of Dr Jonquille Chantrey, who has over 16 years of plastic and cosmetic surgery and regularly features as an expert on Channel 4’s Embarrassing Bodies.
"I suffered really badly with my skin," William, originally from Burnley, said. "Being a teenager, it's quite debilitating having acne so I went into that world of skin and beauty." Speaking more of his own experience and how it lead him to where he is now, William added: "I remember being a 15-year-old boy at an all-boys school and I didn't get bullied for it but I felt so self-conscious and I wanted to cover it up all the time. It was on my forehead, my neck, my back... it was really bad."
