If you told us at the beginning of the year that we’d have two popes living together in the one house in Rome, one in the posh end and the other in the modest end; or that we would never ever be able to listen to Two Little Boys again and feel the same way about it; that we’d find out we’ve been eating horses; that we could never again watch Coronation Street and feel sorry for Ken Barlow in the way we used to when he was having his eye wiped by Mike Baldwin, or indeed watch the joyous end of a marathon without feeling any emotion other than joy, you would scarcely believe it.

Coronation Street star William Roache (Ken Barlow) recently revealed he is 50 per cent deaf in both ears, which he left untreated, refusing to wear hearing aids for many years, and suffered from social isolation and difficulties at work as a result. The Coronation Street actor reportedly said that vanity had stopped him from wearing a hearing device until now.
