Bruce Jones is best known for his role as Les Battersby in long-running soap Coronation Street - and his off-screen life has been just as eventful.
The Battersbys were loved for the chaos they caused on the cobbles, Les, his wife Janice, daughter Leanne and stepdaughter Toyah quickly became soap legends when they appeared on screens back in 1997.
In 1977, Bruce was dragged into the Yorkshire Rippers murders, which led to a police investigation that ultimately ended his marriage. He told the Mirror in 2013: "I lost my first marriage, my children. I lost everything because of that. It actually destroyed me to learn that people can do that to a human being. I had nightmares.”
Following his exit from Coronation Street, Bruce attempted to make a career doing stand-up comedy in Benidorm before making appearances on reality TV shows like Celebrity Wife Swap with singer Sinitta. News of his financial situation continued to surface, and it was reported that he was living alone in a caravan in North Wales in May 2010 and had been made homeless after failing to keep up with payments on his £500,000 Cheshire house.
