Geoffrey Hughes has revealed that he turned down the opportunity to return to Coronation Street.
The 66-year-old actor, who played a recurring role as binman Eddie Yeats on the programme between 1974 and 1987, claims that his life on the Isle of Man would stop him returning to full-time work.
He told the Southern Daily Echo: “"Living on the Island, I am totally content. I'm very, very happy here."
Following his stint on the ITV1 soap, Hughes has starred in Heartbeat, Keeping Up Appearances and The Royle Family.
Would love to have seen Eddie again
