Deer is caught at sea
Corrie Bill real psychic, claims old pal Thelma
A DEER has been rescued after swimming out into the Atlantic.
Samantha Walsh and her boyfriend John had spotted the exhausted animal off Battery Rocks in Cornwall.
They swam in the sea and helped RNLI Penlee’s inshore lifeboat save the deer.
A spokesman for the RNLI said that the deer had been “startled by the noises of the harbour and the public passing by, and so it began to swim out”.
CORRIE legend Bill Roache is a master stargazer with “extraordinary” psychic abilities, a former co-star claims. Thelma Barlow, who played Mavis Wilton, recently found a reading Bill gave her almost 50 years ago, just after she joined the show. And the 91-year-old actress, who went on to star in the BBC comedy Dinnerladies, said the findings of the astrology-obsessed Ken Barlow actor, 88, were scarily accurate.
She said: “When I first went into the programme I was very nervous of talking to people and the very last person I plucked up the courage to talk to was Bill Roache. “He was doing a serious study of astrology at the time and he was doing charts for some of the cast. “He was taking exams and he wanted one or two more people, so I plucked up the courage to ask if he would like to do mine. “He knew nothing about me at all. He did it and I came across it the other week and it is so extraordinary. I remember at the time thinking, ‘Gosh, this is extraordinary.’ It was all scientifically worked out, or mathematically.”
She told the Distinct Nostalgia podcast: “He said within the first page, ‘There seems to be no influence of a father in your life.
“‘Maybe he was away a lot. I don’t understand this. Maybe you can explain it to me.’
“My father died three weeks before I was born, so I never knew him. Obviously something made Bill write that, but he had no idea about my background or anything.”
Thelma, who left the cobbles in 1997, said: “I must write to Bill and tell him I fished it out after 50 years and chat to him about it.”
