News about Roy Hudd

The widow of comedian and Coronation Street actor Roy Hudd is campaigning for a statue to be built outside of his favourite theatre, MailOnline can reveal. Roy, who played recurring character Archie Shuttleworth on Corrie between 2002 and 2010, died in 2020 at age 83. Now, Debbie Hudd is fighting for a sculpture in Roy's likeness to be built outside the Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. 

This follows the decision of club owner Bill Cavendish, the Duke of Devonshire's uncle, to lift the ban on women in an attempt to resurrect the basement party, which was mainly motheaten Tories. According to reports, 40 percent of them have either resigned or threatened to do so as a result of her election. But there is a drawback for the former home secretary, who will now have to warn all male serving staff'George' and all females 'Georgina', a Pratt's tradition.
