Coronation Street star Ben Price has revealed the bizarre moment he was 'pinned up against a wall' in a goose attack.
The actor, who portrays Nick Tilsley in ITV soap, was out for a run in Greater Manchester when he was set upon by the birds.
Ben, 48, made the admission on the Sofa Cinema Club podcast he does with Corrie co-stars Colson Smith and Jack P Shepherd.
"There I am running through Trafford and there's a goose with its chicks on the towpath," he began his unusual tale.
"So I turn and I'm right opposite it running and it goes: 'Hiss.' The full hiss. And it's big. One of those big f***ers."
He continued: "So it took off at me, pinned me against the wall, full flap. And I'm like, 'Arghh!'
"I was thinking, 'I'm not going anywhere near your babies, your chicks, I'm just running through.'
"I tell you what, I ran. And I was a bit panicked. But of course, there's like another 10.
"So I can't go back, I'm going forward and every time I go past one I'm like talking to them, saying: 'No dramas, nothing here. I'm just going for a run. Please.'
"You don't want to upset them. You don't want to stress them out."
The story had his co-stars in stitches and it turns out Colson had the same issue.
Earlier this week, Colson opened up about Ben being his "second father" after the pair moved in together in 2019.
The 22-year-old moved in with Ben after leaving the place he shared with fellow actor Jack.
Colson praised Ben for his support when he turned his lifestyle around and produced a documentary on his weight-loss journey.
