Actor Ken Barlow, 74, has been forced into a humiliating apology after remarks he gave during an interview in New Zealand.
Speaking to Eye On Auckland, Barlow, 75, said that people from Stoke were paying the price for sins committed in former lives. "If you accept that you are pure love, and know that you are pure love, then bad things, like being from Stoke, won't happen to you," said the actor, 76.
"Ken, 77, has apologised for his comments and that is fine by me," says local councillor Jinky Watkins. "That puts a bolt into the head of this particularly sorry cow of a story."
"The fact that anyone in New Zealand has ever heard of Ken Barlow, 78, and would want to interview him is more fucked up than anything he actually said," commented local tourism expert and proud Stokie Dave Murray, of the Cobridge tourist board.
