Now That’s What We Call Sound – Ken Barlow Sends Ian Beale A ‘Good Luck’ Email

Adam Woodyatt who plays Ian Beale in hit TV soap EastEnders has got thousands of new fans this week following his superb performances during the 30^th anniversary shows.

However, there was one person in particular who was rooting for Adam before this week’s big reveal about who killed Lucy Beale.

Bill Roache, otherwise known as Ken Barlow of Coronation Street, sent Adam an email before he went on air, which the star shared with his Twitter followers.

I hope Bill doesn’t mind me sharing this but it shows there is no rivalry between the Soaps only respect. #EELive pic.twitter.com/MQC6Z8z3bm
