CORRIE veteran Bill Tarmey has begged scriptwriters to pen a storyline about his new hearing aid.
The actor, 68 — who plays Jack Duckworth — recently began wearing the device after becoming almost deaf.
He said: “Some Smart Alec viewer will notice I have got a hearing aid, so it needs to be sorted in the scripts.”
Bill has lost 70 per cent of hearing in one ear and 80 per cent in the other.
This would make a great storyline imo, lots of people require a hearing aid and are too embarrassed to wear one.
