Coronation Street villain Ian Bartholomew transformed as he sports new look
Coronation Street star Ian Bartholomew hasn’t been seen on our screens for a while, after his exit from the ITV soap as Geoff Metcalfe.
Keeping a low profile and not one to appear on social media, Ian was recently spotted out and about by a fan, who noticed how different he looks from his Corrie character.
Ian was seen outside a theatre wearing a smart suit, glasses and even a white beard!
The world of theatre is a place Ian has been a part of a lot since leaving the cobbles. He has appeared in The Homecoming, starring alongside Matthew Horne, and even took to the stage to audition in ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent.
He performed an original song, written for the charity Women’s Aid, who worked with Corrie for a huge duration of his and Shelley King’s storyline, which saw Geoff coercively control and abuse Yasmeen Nazir.
Geoff lost his life during the week of episodes that celebrated Corrie’s 60th anniversary. Following his release from prison, Geoff died after falling from the roof of his and Yasmeen’s home.
Last year, Geoff returned for one episode that saw him terrify Yasmeen in a nightmare she was having.
Yasmeen was in the middle of the story that saw Stu (Bill Fellows) attempt to prove he didn’t murder Charlie Walter around 30 years ago.
Yasmeen feared that Stu was the same as Geoff but fortunately, after Dee-Dee (Channique Sterling-Brown) had his name cleared, they are now living happily with Alya (Sair Khan) and Stu’s granddaughter, Eliza (Savannah Kunyo).
