Welsh Coronation Street favourite says he's 'skint' and getting a divorce as he celebrates milestone birthday

Welsh actor Charles Dale has announced that he has split from his wife and is currently going through a divorce. Taking to social media, the 60-year-old former Coronation Street actor celebrated his birthday by posting a photo in which he could be seen standing on a rooftop garden in Tenby, wearing a t-shirt that read, 'Made in 1963'.

Charles wrote: "So, 60 today (WTF), unemployed, skint, going through a divorce (fine but tricky), but thanks to the generosity of my family and friends, feeling not too shoddy. In fact, one might say, downright chipper! Can’t think why, can you ?" The tweet is somewhat of a rarity for the actor, who has never spoken publicly about his wife.

Following the post, Charles was met with a barrage of comments from followers.
