Coronation Street actor Antony Cotton was attacked at Aintree racecourse last Friday.
An onlooker told the Sunday Mirror: “Antony was being called names but was determined to enjoy the day. Then after he left his private box a drunken racegoer made a lunge at him.”
A Corrie spokesman said: “There was no homophobic element to the name-calling.”
Cotton was escorted from the grounds by police but decided not to make a formal complaint about the attack. He said: “We had an amazing day.”
