Coronation Street star Bruce Jones is said to be living in a caravan, following a row with his wife.

The News of the World reports that the man who once played Les Battersby, is now facing charges of assault, drink-driving and dangerous driving after recent argument.

“We are really worried about him,” a source said. “He is desperately unhappy and has hit rock bottom. Ever since he left Coronation Street he has been struggling to cope financially but now his problems have got much worse.

“Bruce has always been the life and soul of the party but now he is withdrawn and depressed.

“He doesn’t want people to see him at his lowest ebb. He is just taking each day as it comes.”
