Coronation Street’s Jack Duckworth decides to earn himself some extra beer money by posing naked for an art class.
But his exploits are soon rumbled by wife Vera - who goes mad and smashes a painting over his head.
Long-suffering Jack, played by Bill Tarmey, 64, has secretly been peeling off as a £25-a-session model at Weatherfield art gallery, but has no idea the paintings will be put on display.
Wife Vera, played by 66-year-old Liz Dawn, makes a surprise visit to the gallery after seeing her neighbours laughing over a picture in the local café.
And she becomes furious when a still-life student asks: "Does your husband always fall asleep on the job?
"When I painted him, no sooner had he taken his clothes off than he was out like a light!"
When the lady shows points out her portrait of portly Jack, Vera grabs it and smashes it over his head. The waitress drags Jack away with the painting still around his neck and the gallery boss demanding payment for the damage.
But angry Vera shouts: "It's our Jack who' be paying for it - 'til the day he dies. Which will be sooner than he thinks after this lot!"
