Former Coronation Street star Bruce Jones has spoken about the moment he discovered a body believed to be that of a Yorkshire Ripper victim.
The actor, who is best known to millions for playing Les Battersby in the soap, features in a new series, Yorkshire Ripper: The Secret Murders, on ITV.
The brand new series, which began on Wednesday night (February 23), links more than 20 unsolved murders and attempted murders to Peter Sutcliffe for the first time.
ITV says: "Through a thorough re-examining of evidence in several cases, including interviews with victims’ relatives, many speaking on television for the first time, as well as leading experts, the series places these events within the timeline of Sutcliffe’s confirmed crimes and MO, and asks why he has never been considered a suspect."
