Corrie star fined for urinating in bush

Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas has been given an £80 fine for urinating in public.

The soap star, who plays Jason Grimshaw, was given the on-the-spot charge after being caught by police relieving himself in a bush outside Club Ice in Westbury.

Taxi driver Ben Gregory told The Sun: "[Ryan] was put in handcuffs and was in the back of the car for a good 15 minutes.

"He was released with a piece of paper and got into a DJ's car. He slammed the door so hard I'm surprised he didn't smash the window. He didn't look happy at all."

A police spokesperson commented: "A 24-year-old male was given a fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly.

"Urinating in a public place can be covered by such a notice."

Thomas and and former co-star Tina O'Brien became parents for the first time last month.
