I'm not publishing salacious details about a man's marriage or totally unproven allegations about what someone has alleged he jhas supposedly done to a six year old. Neither am I repeating rehashed gossip about him from rags. However if the cap fits feel free to enjoy the trashy posts as I will feel free to comment on them. There is a difference. I have no interest in the break up of his marriage. If however he is convicted through the courts of the terrible allegation then I will be the first to condemn him, just as I would condemn any one who abuses children
Michael Le Vell has been rebailed over allegations that he sexually abused a schoolgirl.
The Coronation Street actor, who has played Kevin Webster since 1983, had originally been bailed until tomorrow (Wednesday).
However, that has been extended until next year as the investigation continues, Greater Manchester Police have confirmed.
"A 46-year-old man arrested on suspicion of committing a historic sexual offence has been rebailed until the second week of January as police continue their investigations," a spokeswoman said in a statement.
Le Vell, real name Michael Turner, "strenuously" denied the claims following his arrest in September.
Fellow cast member Sally Dyvenor, who portrays his on-screen wife Sally, has spoken out in defence of the star.
Another slow news day over on DS
CORONATION Street star Michael Le Vell has been cleared of child rape allegations, The People can reveal.
Senior detectives were last night poised to tell the 46-year-old actor he will face no charges after a three-month investigation.
The news came after prosecutors pored over the claims made against Le Vell, who has played Corrie mechanic Kevin Webster for 28 years, and decided there was not enough evidence to go ahead.
The decision by the Crown Prosecution Service will lift a massive cloud from the troubled star and let him move on
with his life.
Claims
Last night a couple answering the door at a house where he has recently been staying said when shown the police statement: Oh that's super. Its great.
The couple said they would try to contact the actor, who is believed to be out of the country on a New Year break, adding: It has been a difficult time for him. Thank you for telling us.
The female at the centre of the claims which Le Vell vehemently denied has already been informed of the CPS decision.
Last night police were tracking down the actor to tell him the case had been dropped.
A police spokesman said: No further action will be taken against a 46-year-old man arrested on suspicion of an historic rape. A file was prepared for the CPS who decided there was insufficient evidence to charge.
The star was first arrested in September on suspicion of sexually abusing a schoolgirl. A teenager had claimed he raped her when she was six. The dad of two was quizzed by cops who swooped on his s775,000 home in Hale, Greater Manchester.
Afterwards he released a statement saying: I strenuously deny these allegations and will do everything in my power to prove my innocence.
On top of the rape allegations Le Vell has been having to come to terms with the break-up of his 25-year marriage to actress wife Janette Beverley.
He has been living at a pals house in Cheshire a few miles from the family home, which has been put on the market.
A source said: Last year was a horrible time for Michael, with the break-up from his wife and these allegations. It has been a terrible strain on him but he has battled on.
Despite his torment Le Vell bravely continued to go to work at the Granada studios, where he has enjoyed the full support of the rest of the cast and crew.
But on occasions he cut a lonely, haunted figure as he visited a number of pubs where he poured his heart out to pals.
Whispers
He was heard voicing concern about where he was going to live as well as fears that even if the case was dropped there might always be whispers linking him to it.
Last night Nazir Aszal, Chief Crown Prosecutor for the North West area, confirmed charges against Le Vell real name Michael Turner had been dropped.
Mr Aszal said: As there is no realistic prospect of conviction it is only right that the allegations against Mr Turner are prevented from going any further.
I have informed the police that they should take no further action against him.
SO MUCH FOR ALL THOSE WHO SOUGHT TO KEEP THIS SALACIOUS STORY GOING YOU SHOULD B ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES
Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe

The charges may have been dropped but the matter is far from over for Michael. Him and his family will take months to recover from these terrible accusations.
