Michael Le Vell puts sex abuse trial to one side as he celebrates Corrie co-star Brooke Vincent's 21st birthday alongside girlfriend Blanca Fouche
Michael Le Vell put his sex abuse
trial to one side on Saturday night as he turned out to celebrate the
21st birthday of his on-screen daughter, Brooke Vincent.
Silencing recent reports of a split, the 48-year-old was accompanied by his girlfriend, Blanca Fouche, 31, as he arrived at Manchester's Great John Street Hotel to toast his Coronation Street co-star's milestone birthday.
The actor - who plays garage boss Kevin Webster in the ITV1 soap - appeared to be in good spirits as he held hands with the mother-of-four while making their way into the hotel.
And Blanca seemed thrilled to
be in the company of her man, posing for photographs in her LBD and
gazing into the soap star's eyes as they prepared to join the cast of
Corrie at the party.
The couple were believed to have parted ways earlier this week amid claims he was seeing another woman, IT worker Emma Dodd.
Blanca's estranged husband, Desmond, told the Daily Star: 'It is all over this love triangle business. She said it had all got very messy and that she wasn’t prepared to tolerate all the s**t that was happening with this other woman.'
Le Vell – who has played Kevin
Webster in Coronation Street for the past three decades – split from his
wife of 25 years, Janette Beverley, two years ago.
He faces trial in September after being charged with 19 child sex offences – six counts of raping a child, six counts of indecently assaulting a child, and seven counts of sexual activity with a child.
The 19 alleged offences all relate to one complainant and all took place between 2001 and 2010. He ‘vigorously’ denies the allegations.
The father-of-two has entered not guilty pleas to all the charges and has vowed to fight the allegations through the courts.
Le Vell, who last appeared in Corrie on February 8, will not be seen in any more episodes until the trial is over.
He split from his wife a few months before the allegations were first made in 2011.
