Coronation Street star Bill Roache admits he 'fancied' the Queen when they met
William "Bill" Roache admitted he "fancied" the Queen and grew fonder and fonder of the 95 year old monarch every time he met her. The Coronation Street actor, who celebrates his 90th birthday this month and was named in the New Year's Honours list, has met Her Majesty an incredible eight times. And from their very first meeting, the Ken Barlow icon was attracted to her.
