Former Coronation street star Chris Fountain has talked openly about his depression battle after he was axed from the soap in 2013, following a video emerging online of him rapping about women.

Chris, 34, who has also appeared in Hollyoaks, played Tommy Duckworth from 2011 until his sacking, when the video in question surfaced, in which he rapped about rape.

Some of the lines from the rap included: “I will **** anybody up in the worst way, rape a b***h on her birthday”. In 2013, an ITV spokesman said the actor's contract had been terminated "as a result of the unacceptable comments he made in a number of online clips”.
