Andrew Lancel: Bohemian Time

Former Coronation Street actor Andrew Lancel today admitted playing games of ‘show and tell’ with his private parts with other men at parties.
The TV star denied ever having any sexual contact with ‘minors’, a jury heard, but had ‘dabbled’ with homosexuality when he was younger.
The 42-year-old celebrity is accused of performing six sex acts on a boy when he was 14 and 15, in 1993 and 1994.
Lancel, who is married to dancer Louise Edge, agreed he had regularly ‘got his knob out’ in the past because it was a ‘Bohemian time.’
And the former star of The Bill, who is accused of massaging the underage boy at his Southport home in Merseyside, before sexually molesting him, revealed rub-downs were commonplace at the Coronation Street studios in Manchester.
In his police interview, the ex-Heartbeat performer conceded: “I’ve got my knob out, for want of a better word, on many occasions. Maybe I shouldn’t have.
“I have been around for a long time, you know. I’m 42 so I’m not going to lie and say I haven’t dabbled.”
Lancel admitted giving male friends massages but said he was not a “specialist” - adding: “If you walk into the green room of Coronation Street you see people giving each other a massage. It is not unusual."

Fagburn is proud to live in a country where this nonsense could come to court.

Update: The jury took just 29 minutes to clear Lancel.
