Bill also says he’s ­determined to still be on the cobbles when he turns 100. But he does admit he once considered it.leaving the show.

“I thought about leaving when I was about 40,” he said. “I got a bit worried. There was a time when they tried to turn Ken nerdy, and I went to see the producer. But I haven’t considered it since.”

Speaking about Ken's future on the show, Bill says:  “I can’t say what happens with Audrey, but it’s looking good.”
