Coronation Street fans are in for a shocking showdown. We already know that Bruce Jones is no stranger to drama, both on and off-screen. However, let us tell you that the actor, famous for Les Battersby, gears up for an unexpected brawl in the wrestling ring! SOVPRO teased the news on Twitter/X, sparking curiosity about which soap star will dare to confront Les at #FalseIdols. Read on to know more!
Coronation Street Star Set For Wrestling Showdown
Actor Bruce Jones braces to fight a mystery soap actor in an upcoming wrestling match. Coronation Street fans know Jones as Les Battersby, who was fondly cherished for his relationships, particularly his bond with stepson Chesney Brown and lodger Kirk Sutherland.
SOVPRO teases that Bruce’s opponent is going to be a Corrie star. A Twitter (X) media post states, “BREAKING NEWS. Someone from the cobbled streets of Weatherfield will confront Les in the middle of the ring at #FalseIdols.” It intriguingly ends with the question, “But who will it be?” with the event set to take place on Bank Holiday, Monday, May 6, 2024.
Bruce entered Coronation Street in 1997 and got himself into a fight with Emily Bishop and Percy Sugden. However, his ‘ring debut’ at Manchester’s Trinity Sports Centre on February 18, 2024, was a total shock. The legendary actor walked in carrying his signature Weatherfield look.
In 2007, the soap star was suspended from Coronation Street due to allegedly revealing future storylines while being drunk. Subsequently, the makers ended his character’s timeline in the show. Recently, the 71-year-old actor disclosed his nightmares stemming from his encounter with a victim of the Yorkshire Ripper forty-five years ago.
In a conversation with The Guardian, he said, “I never told anyone what I saw. For a long time, I saw that girl every day. I still have nightmares.” For the fastest Coronation Street spoilers and updates, keep checking TV Season & Spoilers!
