The couple met precisely while working alongside in the famous ITV soap opera and tied the knot in October 1986. They became parents to two children, a girl and a boy; you can see them in the picture below. After she got married, Janette seems to have left the acting to hubby and she dedicated herself to be a mom and wify.

Janette’s husband who always had a squeaky clean image in the public eye came all crashing down when the 48-year-old actor had to confront child *** abuse allegations surfaced in October 2011. That same years it was announced Janette’s marriage of 25 years was over. Allegedly the the couple split up a few months before he was accused of sexual assault; Janette was also diagnosed with breast cancer and received chemotherapy.

The accusations of a teenage girl saying she was assaulted by the actor when she was six caused him to take some time off from Coronation street but his personal life and image also took a toll on the actor and his family. La Vell and Beverley had grown apart from each other but his problems seem to have piled up and came all at once. The fact that their marriage ended came as a complete shock to colleagues and people close to the couple, he was described to be brilliant as a husband and dad and never even courted the celebrity lifestyle. Beverley’s man categorically denied all the accusations made against him and embarked himself in a long court battle.

Now that the actor was acquitted of child *** offences do you think it’s too late for him and Janette?
