[Actor John Savident, best known for
playing Fred Elliott in Coronation Street,
has died aged 86,
his agent has announced.
The actor was famous for his booming
voice while playing the
local butcher on the ITV soap.

His co-star Sue Nicholls,
who played love interest Audrey Roberts,
said she was "very sad" to hear of his death.
"My memories of working with you dear
John on the street are a joy,
and always will be," she added.

"God bless you and thank you for
being in my life. Much love to you
and your friends and family."

Savident joined the Manchester-based
soap in 1994, and quickly became
a favourite with viewers thanks to
his huge personality and loud voice.

His storylines involved his disastrous
love life, including three marriages
and several failed proposals.]
