CORRIE star Bill Roache has been Ken Barlow for 50 years - but he only recently went upstairs in the character's house.
Bill, 78, finally saw Ken's bedroom when a replica of the terrace he shares with wife Deirdre was built for a new exhibition.

The actor, who first set foot on the cobbles in 1960, said: "We spend time in the kitchen, sitting room and hall but I'd never been to the bedroom."

The replica will go on display next to a green version complete with solar panels at the Ideal Home Show, which opens in London on March 11.

Bill added: "Maybe it's time Ken became more eco-friendly."
