Coronation Street ’s Neville Buswell is believed to have died on Christmas Day, aged 77, according to reports. The Corrie star played womaniser Ray Langton in the long-running ITV drama between 1966 and 1978.

A sweet poem was shared in tribute to the actor in his adopted hometown of Las Vegas, alongside a photo of him.

Neville first joined Corrie in the mid 1960s but he left within the same year.

However, the star returned just two years later and was a regular cast member for the next decade.

He will forever be known as Ray, who famously married Deirdre Barlow (played by the late Anne Kirkbride).
