Former Coronation Street star Chris Gascoyne has been charged for drink driving in Wales.

Gascoyne, who played Peter Barlow in the ITV soap, was stopped by police early on Sunday, December 30 in Llandudno.

He last appeared in Coronation Street in 2007 during the trial of his on-screen sister Tracy Barlow.

North Wales Police have confirmed that they arrested a 39-year-old man from Manchester over the weekend.

The soap actor is playing Captain Hook in Peter Pan in the Welsh town until next week.
