Coronation Street's Ben Price suffers unfortunate accident in the home
Coronation Street star Ben Price, 53, has suffered an unfortunate accident in his home, he revealed recently.
The Nick Tilsley actor co-hosts the On The Sofa podcast alongside Corrie co-stars Jack P Shepherd and Colson Smith, and was quick to tell them the story of the incident.
He explained how, while cleaning his cooker ahead of a scheduled repair, he had found a dead mouse, and decided to check the loft for any more rodents.
However, on his way out, he tripped and put his leg, which was already 'dead' from a jiu-jitsu injury, through the ceiling.
'I put my foot straight through. I've fallen through the ceiling, but my leg's dead, so I can't pick it back up!' He recalled.
He went on to reveal how the misstep had resulted in complete carnage in the bathroom below, with the whole ceiling having collapsed.
'I think to myself, 'I've only put my little foot through', so it's just a foot mark in the ceiling. I'm thinking nothing of it. I look through the [gap], and there was not one bit, the shower, the loo, the tiles, the floor, that wasn't covered.
'It was utterly covered. The whole part of the ceiling had fallen down.' More Trending
When his wife then revealed that she was going to have a shower, Ben was forced to reveal what had happened, and was even more disheartened when she saw this as an opportunity for a whole new bathroom!
On the cobbles, Ben's alter-ego Nick has had a dramatic year, after embarking on an affair with long-time partner Leanne Battersby's (Jane Danson) sister Toyah (Georgia Taylor).
Their romance began after Leanne was drawn into a cult, and once their relationship was exposed, they chose to stay together, leaving Leanne vengeful and heartbroken.

Freddy Brazier goes on bowling date with blonde influencer as it's revealed he's living with nan Jackiey amid Jeff feud
FREDDY Brazier has been spotted enjoying a bowling day out with a stunning social media star. The 20-year-old headed out with glamorous Tasha Newcombe who boasts a whopping 65,000 followers. 5 5 5 Freddy took to his Instagram stories to share a snap of Roxy Ballroom where he enjoyed his afternoon outing with Tasha. He didn't share any further details of their trip out nor did he upload any snaps of Tasha - instead choosing to tag her in his post. Tasha also re-shared the post to her own Instagram stories. His outing comes after it was revealed that the model and Celebrity Race Across The World star had moved in with his nan Jackiey Budden in her Bermondsey home. Jackiey, who has lived in the London area close to Tower Bridge all her life, has been spending an increasing amount of time with her grandson amid his feud with TV star father Jeff. It is understood that he has been living at her South London home despite the legal row launched by his father Jeff, 46, to block Jackiey from seeing him. Freddy, 20, was just four-years-old and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby, was five when their mother Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009. The Big Brother legend passed away at the age of 27 after a seven month battle with cancer and he has since been raised by his dad. Since then, Jackiey and Jeff have clashed several times before The Sun on Sunday revealed that the former Dancing on Ice contestant took legal action for his son's wellbeing. Despite trying to keep the duo apart, The Mail reports that Freddy spent the last week with his grandmother at her home in Bermondsey. Freddy Brazier defies dad Jeff to post new TikTok with nan Jackiey after legal action and 'weed smoking' row A source told the publication: "Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his Nanny for very long – they've always had a strong bond. "Jeff may hate her for all sorts of reasons going back many years, but Freddy loves her very much. "They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat – where he has often stayed over the years. "Whatever Jeff hoped to achieve with his legal efforts, it hasn't worked." This comes after we spotted Freddy smoking a joint with his former reality TV star grandmother near Tower Bridge in full view of tourists. Our exclusive photos and video show them smoking a suspicious-looking cigarette as Jackiey was seen to be 'acting erratically' with her grandson. An onlooker remarked: "The pair were puffing away in the open, in full view of tourists passing by and there was an aromatic smell in the air. The source added: "She appeared to be acting erratically." 5 5

Chris Hughes nuzzles JoJo Siwa's neck in public lovefest
Days after hard launching their relationship, Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa have been spotted getting cosy in the Cotswolds. Chris, 32, was photographed nuzzling the 22-year-old's neck, and the couple were seen walking hand in hand as they strolled through the countryside. According to one insider, the pair are in the UK visiting Chris's mum and dad, who have been rather taken by the Dance Moms star. A source said: 'JoJo and Chris are absolutely loved-up. Meeting the parents is a big step, but she charmed everyone.' The meeting comes just days after JoJo confirmed that she and Chris were in a relationship during an interview with Capital Radio. She told them, 'I'm sure it's no secret to people, I am in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes.' Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Since that announcement, she went on to tell Billboard that Chris is one of the most important people in her life, going so far as to say she would die for him. 'It blows my mind that 30 days ago, I would have never even imagined that I'd be friends with Chris Hughes,' she explained. ' 'Like that is the weirdest thing,' she continued. 'Much less be one of the closest people to me now in my life, who I would die for, you know what I mean?' Speaking to The Guardian, she would later say, 'I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way.' The pair met while they were taking part in Celebrity Big Brother this April and formed a close bond after Chris defended JoJo from fellow housemate Mickey Rourke's homophobic comments. Following that incident, the pair were inseparable in the house, leading viewers to speculate that they were more than friends. After the show ended, JoJo allegedly ended her relationship with girlfriend Kathy Ebbs at the after party, and the pair have been seen together in the UK and the US. On the most recent episode of Sunday Brunch, JoJo admitted that the Love Island star had even been over to meet her parents. More Trending She said, 'She (her mother Jessalynn) does love him. My parents think the absolute world of him, and he and my dad are like best friends'. 'Honestly, it makes me happy to have everybody act as… it feels like we're a family, it feels like he's been in my family for however many years it feels like forever. 'He gets along as well as I do. I think he loves me because of my parents!' Meanwhile, during a recent appearance on This Morning, Chris was quizzed on his preferred name for the new power couple, where he admitted he was partial to 'CoJo'. Got a story?
