Coronation Street star's husband KO'd fan
THE husband of Coronation Street actress Vicky Entwistle was yesterday convicted and fined £1,250 for knocking out a fan who wanted to take a photograph of his wife.
Andrew Chapman, 47, punched jobless Michael McWhirter, 23, in the face when he approached the actress on a train and asked: “Can I please have a photo of you because my mum really likes your programme?”
Chapman claimed self defence because he felt “threatened”. He was found guilty and ordered to pay a further £1,250 compensation and £1,390 costs.

Ms Entwistle told Salford magistrates she was quitting her role as Janice Battersby because she felt “swallowed up” by the soap.
