It’s a long way from Weatherfield! Michael Le Vell

He’s usually seen on the cobbled streets of Weatherfield wearing a greasy overall in his role as Kevin Webster in Coronation Street.
But in real life Michael Le Vell prefers something a little more glamorous as he was spotted on holiday in Australia.
The 48-year-old was seen enjoying the sun as he larked about with mates while having a pint in a bar on Sydney Harbour.

Dressed in a pair of checked shorts, or boardies as they are known in Australia, with his cap on backwards and with flip flops on his feet, the actor could easily have passed for a typical Australian.

As temperatures reached nearly 30 degrees, Michael looked like he couldn’t be happier to be away from the North of England.
Pulling a variety of silly poses, he even stopped to have his picture taken with a fan who had recognised him all those miles away.

Strike a pose: Michael spent time posing for pictures in between having a few drinks with his friends 

The Manchester born star spent time at the famous Opera Bar in the city, which is in the shadow of the renowned and stunning opera house, before he and his mates moved on to a bar in the centre  of town.
It is thought that before arriving in Sydney, Michael spent time with a close friend of his – a physiotherapist – who lives in Brisbane.
However she didn’t appear to be present on the lad’s trip to the city.

Happy: The actor looked really delighted to be on holiday in Australia and away from the North of England for a while

Close friend: It is thought Michael was spending time with a close female friend in Brisbane before coming to Sydney 

Michael is currently in the process of divorcing his ex Janette Beverly after the pair decided to part ways in 2011.
The couple met in 1986 when she starred alongside him in Coronation Street and they married that same year, going on to have two children together.
The actor has been in Coronation Street for over twenty-six years and has no plans to move on after revealing he still viewed it as ‘the best job on television.’
In 2011 he was accused of a sexual offence; however in 2012 the case was dropped due to insufficient evidence and the actor kept his place on the popular soap.
