It is understood Roache, 91, who has played Ken Barlow in the soap since 1960, is the highest-paid member of the cast, earning around ?250,000 (?293,022) a year.

HMRC said it does not comment on individual cases. But a spokesperson said tonight: "We take a supportive approach to dealing with customers who have tax debts, and do everything we can to help those who engage with us to get out of debt, such as offering instalment plans.

?We only petition for bankruptcy as a last resort.? A spokesperson for Coronation Street said: "We're really sorry to hear of Bill's financial situation. Bill has an ongoing contract with Coronation Street and remains a much-loved member of the cast."
