Meet the man who sacked Father Christmas
Tuesday 22nd December 2009, 5:29PM GMT.
Steve sacks Ken Barlow, who looks crushed
The married father-of-three appeared in the long-running ITV1 soap opera on December 7 playing the role of a disgruntled shop manager who turfed Father Christmas out of his shop for rowing with customers. In the scene, Ken Barlow is dressed as Santa when his grandson Simon comes into the grotto with his other grandfather George.
When the two grandfathers start bickering, Santa is unmasked as Ken.
Mr Chapman is no stranger to Coronation Street appearances. He was murderer Richard Hillman’s on-screen best man and also “defended” Tracy Barlow as her solicitor.
