Ken Barlow ''sees bedroom for the first time''
23/02/2011
Despite spending 50 years in the ITV soap, Coronation Street star Bill Roache had only recently seen his alter ego's bedroom for the first time.
Ken Barlow can often be seen with his other half Deidre sipping a cup of tea downstairs, but the upstairs of the property has been something of a mystery.
He told the Sun: "We spend time in the kitchen, sitting room and hall but I'd never been to the bedroom."
Now, however, a replica of the Barlow's bed and surrounding space has been installed as part of an exhibition, giving fans of the street something a little unusual to marvel at.
It can be seen at the Ideal Home Show in London, which opens on March 11th.
Earlier this month, a set of online episodes entitled Ken and Deidre's Bedtime Stories were launched on the ITV website as a spin-off from the main show.
