Will Mellor has revealed he was once shockingly attacked by an angry soap fan. The star, who has appeared in Coronation Street in recent times, got an early start on fellow soap Brookside. However, Will has revealed that his Brookside character's storyline led one fan to take things out violently on him in the street. "There’s a cut through from my estate to where the pub is and as I’m walking through, there’s an old lady walking towards me. Because we're so different as people, and that's why the podcast [Two Pints with Will and Ralf] works."
