"Sherrie Hewson has revealed how she once thought that she had murdered Coronation Street co-star Ken Morley. The actress joined the ITV soap in 1993 as an old flame of Morley&amp;#039;s character Reg Holdsworth. In her new autobiography, which is being serialised by The Mirror, she recalled their first meeting. &amp;quot;We first came face to face in the make-up room,&amp;quot; she wrote. &amp;quot;&amp;#039;Hello&amp;#039;, he said, staring at me and licking his lips. Right, I thought, go in as you mean to carry on. &amp;#039;Hi,&amp;#039; I said. &amp;#039;I understand you&amp;#039;re the big, fat b**tard I have to work with&amp;#039;. He smiled and shook his head. &amp;#039;No, no, no,&amp;#039; he told me, taking his pink glasses off. &amp;#039;You have to get that right! I&amp;#039;m the big, RICH, fat b**tard!&amp;#039; &amp;quot;He laughed and walked away. And that was the bond. From that day on we could say anything to each other.&amp;quot; However, Hewson admitted that she almost destroyed the much-loved &amp;quot;double act&amp;quot; when she feared that she had &amp;quot;murdered&amp;quot; Morley. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;d taken me on the Granada Studios Tour after the place, vast as an aircraft hangar, had closed to the public,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;When I turned round to say something, Ken had disappeared. I waited a few minutes but there was no sign of him. The place was very spooky and I had no idea how to get out. I started to get really worried. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d wandered about and was in a little cobbled street with a red post-box and a black cat sitting on the top of it. Suddenly, I heard him coming. Determined to get my own back, I hid behind the post-box, picked up the cat, then jumped out, yelled &amp;#039;Boo!&amp;#039; and threw it at him. The trouble was the cat was made of concrete. &amp;quot;It hit Ken on the forehead\u2026 and knocked him out cold! Horrified, I stared at him. He was motionless. I was convinced I&amp;#039;d killed him.&amp;quot; She continued: &amp;quot;A week into the show and I had bumped off one of its best known stars. I could see the headline: MAUREEN BATTERS REG TO DEATH!&amp;quot; The Loose Women star confessed that she &amp;quot;panicked&amp;quot; and fled the scene in shock. &amp;quot;Next morning I decided the best thing was to act normally. I arrived at the studios at seven and went to the Green Room for a coffee,&amp;quot; she said. I was a total wreck and decided I&amp;#039;d better tell someone - I couldn&amp;#039;t live with myself otherwise. The first person in was Helen Worth (Gail Platt). I didn&amp;#039;t know her yet and although she smiled warmly I couldn&amp;#039;t fess up. Next was Kevin Kennedy (Curly Watts). &amp;quot;&amp;#039;Have you seen Ken this morning?&amp;#039;, I asked, nervously,&amp;quot; she recalled. &amp;quot;&amp;#039;No, why?&amp;#039;, asked Kevin. &amp;#039;Well...&amp;#039; I began. &amp;#039;I think I&amp;#039;ve\u2026&amp;#039;. At that moment Ken walked in. I wanted to throw my arms around him and shout, &amp;#039;You\u2019re alive!&amp;#039; Instead I stayed rooted to the spot, staring at the huge, black lump on his forehead. As Morley revealed how the injury had been caused, Hewson admitted that she &amp;quot;burst into tears&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Not surprisingly, it took Ken a long time to forgive me,&amp;quot; she added. &amp;quot;Eventually he did and, thankfully, the story never appeared in the papers.&amp;quot; Hewson&amp;#039;s autobiography Sherrie: Behind the Laughter will be published on March 3. &amp;gt; Hewson recalls Robert Lindsay relationship "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
