‘Coronation Street’ star Les Dennis got into something of a spat last night, with a fan who accused him of helping to perpetuate negative stereotypes about Liverpool.

“Oh great, a Manc program making the Scouser a thief.....how nice,” they wrote. [sic]
Les didn’t waste any time replying, pointing out that his character isn’t actually from Liverpool.

The conversation continued:
Since arriving in Weatherfield, Les has been a huge hit, and back in April, he was offered a new extended contract.
His character has become a new man after starting a relationship with Gail.
Sadly, he hasn’t stayed on track, and when he found out Gail had been telling a huge lie, the couple split and he’s now set to return to his thieving ways.
